Cultivating
Progress
Our vision is to be a leading enabler
of the biosolutions urgently needed
to restore planetary health
Too many fermentation businesses fail
DIRINOC®
A ready-to-use, quality-certified inoculum
that enables a simpler and more reliable biomanufacturing.
With our seed train services we enable companies to obtain a readily available concentrated
starter culture that seeds the commercial scale bioreactor and yields considerable savings.
ORIP
Organism Robustness Induction Program
This is the development program, starting with the transfer of the strain,
and ending with an orderable, stable starter culture.
-
Metabolic pathway mapping using a proprietary AI model suggesting best strategies for production of a stable, storable, concentrated starter culture
-
Wet trials in the lab for optimal media formulation, propagation conditions, concentration- and packaging strategy
-
Validation run using our FlexCell® production platform.
Quality certification and packaging logistics determined. -
Order your starter culture whenever you need it!
DIRINOC®
DIRINOC® is a ready-to-use starter culture, developed from the client’s own strain after going through the ORIP program.
It’s available on demand and ready for direct use in fermentation.
We are agnostic to which microbe...
We can handle almost any species, wild type or genetically modified organisms, unlocking microbial biodiversity in biomanufacturing.
Your needs, Our priority
Tell us about your organism, process, and production goals — we’ll assess the path to a ready-to-use DIRINOC® starter culture.
First there was a company that made yeast...
Swan Neck Bio® is a spin-out from White Labs - a global leader in fermentation since 1995.
White Labs’ pioneering FlexCell technology revolutionized the brewing industry by enabling yeast to be grown and packaged in the same vessel.
At Swan Neck Bio®, we’re applying this single-use bioreactor technology to produce ready-to-use seed cultures of any microbe for biomanufacturing applications around the world.
