Plant Extraction Innovation & Development
Accelerate your journey from idea to high-value active ingredients.
Validate the potential before you invest.
We assess the potential of your biosourced ingredients, define the right extraction pathway (fractionation, purification, downstream processing) and confirm market relevance early on, helping you reduce development risk before investing in scale.
Build a strong business case with real data.
Our experts define how to extract your active compounds, characterise performance and prove technological feasibility.
De-risk
industrialisation.
We optimise yields, stability and production costs on intermediate-scale equipment to ensure your plant extract development transfers smoothly to industrial operations.
Be market-ready with confidence.
We deliver pre-commercial batches under near-industrial conditions, validate unit costs and secure a reliable supply chain for commercial launch.
Our laboratory: Full capabilities for biomass fractionation
Proof of concept. Clear route forward.
With 250 m² of specialist R&D labs, we develop and optimise plant extraction processes for every type of plant biomass.
We cover the full chain, from biomass extraction to modification of plant biomass, whatever your target compound or application.
Proof of concept • Reliable data for cost modelling • Confidence to proceed to pilot scale
Our analytical expertise:
• Chromatography (GC, HPLC, HPIC) to profile and quantify active ingredients
• Physico-chemical characterisation to confirm stability, texture and functionality (rheology, viscosimetry, texturometry, laser particle size analysis, etc.)
Micro-pilot scale
De-risk industrialisation.
We run intermediate-scale trials to validate technical and economic performance under realistic conditions.
Predictable yields • Controlled production costs • Clear go/no-go decision
Industrial pilot extraction
Launch with confidence – cost, quality and supply secured.
We transfer your process to near-industrial conditions, validate production costs and produce first commercial-grade batches.
Industrial-grade quality assured • Unit costs validated • Safe transfer to full production
Our pilot plant: End-to-end capabilities for biomass extraction at scale
All key unit operations under one roof, from pilot to near-industrial volumes.
