From the lab to your next scale-up run

Tell us six things about your process. We check which UK facilities can take it, then send you 2 to 4 options with live availability, pricing and IP terms.

About 5 minutes. Nothing is shared with a facility until you approve it.

Example scale-up path

  1. You are here
    100 L
    Pilot, at a university
    • Your largest run so far
    • Where you are working today
  2. Matching now
    Your next step
    10,000 L
    Demo runs
    • UK sites that pass your must-haves
    • Availability, pricing and IP terms checked
    • Shortlist usually within 10 working days
  3. Commercial
    100,000 L+
    Where you are heading
    • What it takes to get there
    • Where UK capacity runs out
How it works

One request. A shortlist you can act on.

  1. 1

    Tell us your must-haves

    Organism, containment level, volume, downstream steps, grade and dates. "Not sure" is fine: one of our experts will follow up.

  2. 2

    See your scale-up path

    Where you are now, the next scale you need, and what it takes to reach commercial scale.

  3. 3

    Get a hand-picked shortlist

    2 to 4 facilities we have checked by hand, usually within 10 working days. You pick who to meet.

What we check

What a static database can't tell you

Facility lists go out of date, and they rarely say whether a site is free, what it costs or who owns what comes out of the run. We check those three for every option we send.

  • Live availability
    Confirmed with the facility for your dates.
  • Pricing
    An indicative range per run, before you get on a call.
  • IP terms
    Who owns the strain, process and data from the run.
