Pure bacteria cultures are transferred to pre-sterilized flasks. Once the proper cell density is achieved, the flasks are used to inoculate pre-sterilized fermenters. During fermentation, we control the pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, agitation, and air flow to create and sustain growth conditions that optimize yields and produce the exact breadth of product required.

Once fermentation is complete, we pasteurize the fermentation broth, send it through a centrifuge to concentrate the spores, and dry the spore slurry in a spray dryer. This spray dried powder can be used as a raw material, or we can rehydrate or blend it according to each customer’s needs.

Our quality management system comprises core processes such as rigorous DNA and pathogen testing before and after fermentation, spore counting, and lot tracking to ensure that every batch exceeds quality and performance expectations.
