Get the most out of your microalgae
Maximise the potential of your microalgae
Biotechnology requires precision, reproducibility and total control of culture parameters.
Whether for R&D, process optimisation or the production of high value-added molecules, the reliability of the culture system is decisive.
Our photobioreactors enable you to accelerate your developments thanks to fully controlled, automated and reproducible cultures. Their scalable technology facilitates the transition from the laboratory to larger-scale production.

Challenges of microalgae biotechnology
In microalgal biotechnology, the development of strains is often held back by major technical constraints:
- Difficulty in accurately reproducing experimental conditions
- Limited monitoring and control of culture parameters
- High risk of inter-species contamination
- Complex scale-up between laboratory and production
- Insufficient control to guide metabolic performance
- Difficulty in maintaining system stability and performance over time
Our solutions
An industrial and reliable tool
Our photobioreactors provide a fully controlled, stable and reproducible culture environment, adapted to the requirements of biotechnological applications.
Thanks to advanced automation, precise parameter monitoring and a design optimised for biological performance, our systems optimise cultures and enable the valorisation of your strains or their metabolites.
From strain screening to pilot or industrial production, your work is conducted in controlled conditions that are comparable and transferable to large scale.
Easy scale up
Scalable production technology across all our systems
SALT Technology
Gentle agitation for all species that maximises performance
LED optimised
A spectrum adapted for microalgae and an optimised illuminated area
Easy to operate
An automated controller that is easy to use and records data
Multiple cultures
A configuration with 1 or 2 chambers for duplicates cultures or cultivating 2 different strains independently
Synoxis algae ecosystem
A similar ecosystem from laboratory scale to pilot scale and then production, with the possibility of adding other monitoring sensors
Our technology
We have developed our own patented technology, SALT (Spiral Airlift Tubular), to increase the productivity of your cultures in a smaller volume. This technology, which is compatible with both freshwater and saltwater algae, can achieve productivity levels 10 to 15 times higher than traditional culture systems.
Example with LUCY
Like all our photobioreactors, LUCY is designed and engineered according to industrial logic to operate continuously and intensively:
- Reliable components that can be replaced if necessary
- Easy access to systems for maintenance and after-sales service
- Long-term availability of spare parts
- Automated maintenance protocols (cleaning, etc.)
- Sensors for user safety (pressure, etc.)
- Resistance to demanding environments
- Automatic restart of cultivation programmes after a power cut
This design allows for sustainable use of the photobioreactor and ensures the following for your cultures and developments:
- Complete control of parameters
- Reproducible conditions over time
- Safe cultures of all types of strains
- High and homogeneous cell densities
- Data acquisition and export
- Production scale-up
