About SBT Instruments
We believe growth measurements in fermentation are flawed, and we aim to change that.
We develop and produce BactoBox® for scientists doing upstream microbial process development. They come to us 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.
We care deeply about data. We hold our positions because of data, and we will change them for data.
We patented our core technology in 2017 and we serve customers worldwide from our office in Denmark. We have hands-on experience with cultivations at development and pilot scale across many applications.
