Reliable growth curves. Confident decisions.

SBT Instruments believes growth measurements in fermentation are flawed, and they aim to change that. SBT Instruments develop and produce BactoBox® for scientists doing upstream microbial process development. Scientists have chosen SBT Instruments because optical density cannot tell them whether a change in the curve means more cells or bigger cells, which makes one cultivation hard to compare with the next. BactoBox® measures both, directly, from the same reading.

SBT Instruments patented their core technology in 2017 and they have hands-on experience with cultivations at development and pilot scale across many applications.
