Our Tech
Automated hardware, from launch to lab.
The process
Formulate & prep
Client protein is buffer-exchanged and loaded into sealed, single-use crystallisation cassettes on the ground.
Launch to orbit
Cassettes fly to a microgravity platform inside a temperature-controlled payload, automated from integration to activation.
Grow in microgravity
Onboard hardware controls temperature and nucleation timing over days to weeks, monitored via telemetry.
Return & analyse
Crystals return to Earth for imaging, diffraction analysis, and comparison against Earth-grown controls.
Scale on the ground
Validated conditions are translated into a seeded, ground-based batch process for commercial-scale manufacturing.
By the numbers
Multiple flights per year
Payload cadence
5–21 days on-orbit
Crystallisation window
< 10 days post-return
Analysis turnaround
mAbs, fusion proteins, enzymes
