Spironix’s talented academic founding team have spent years developing a novel, spinning bioreactor. Their disruptive bioreactor technology that does not rely on a stirred tank and is continuous. Instead their reactor technology relies on spiral channels under rotation which can harbour a microbial biofilm. The biofilm formation is not coupled to microbial physiology but is rapidly established by injection of the microbial suspension and stabilised in place by centrifugal acceleration.
Amodo sat down with Spironix’s founding team in early 2024, from our first meetings it was clear that their well-regarded academic research team could be supported by Amodo’s industrial production experience. Over the coming months we quickly found development projects that could help Spironix start to test their device with new customers.
When working with a client we are focused on adding value to their projects. As Spironix had already developed a robust prototype our mechanical engineering team focused on modifying their existing design to meet the requirements of one of Spironix’s new partners.
Through a fast, iterative, design process we produced a series of new precision machined components to meet the complex requirements of their high-speed, rotating bioreactor.
This collaboration leant on Amodo’s fast turn-around time, experience with complex mechanical parts, and deep understand of cell biology.
