While the industrial applications of fermentation continue to grow, underlying challenges to scaling up this fundamental process still remain. At the core of this lies a common challenge: a reliance on manual data collection and paper forms and notebooks, ad hoc process and parameter documentation, Excel spreadsheets with multiple versions that are difficult to track, inflexible ELNs and LIMs, and disparate data files from multiple instruments that are difficult to impossible to format and contextualize for statistical analysis. But there's hope: here's how a digital backbone can transform industrial fermentation.
Riffyn has partnered with Imperial College London to build digital foundations for accelerating synthetic biology research. Through this partnership, Riffyn Nexus will be available to all IC students and will be introduced to entrepreneurs at the London Biofoundry.
Amidst the early COVID-19 chaos — when most of us were still in denial about the virus — two visionaries at Imperial College London started developing a new kind of COVID-19 test. Fully automated, scalable to thousands of tests per day, and reagent agnostic, the test workflow was developed, validated, and rolled out by the U.K. National Health Service to test 1,000 patient samples per day in only 9 weeks. Here's how they did it - and why the driving principles behind biofoundries and the advanced capabilities of Riffyn Nexus and other "lab of the future" systems were critical to their success.
At Riffyn, we are proud that our customers see us as scientific partners.
