Case Study: Joyn Bio accelerates bioprocess development with Culture Biosciences

Joyn Bio moves at least 6 months faster with Culture Biosciences

Joyn Bio, a company focused on developing microbial solutions for agriculture, faced the challenge of scaling up its bioprocess development without the significant capital investment and time required to build an in-house high-throughput bioreactor lab. They needed to efficiently test engineered microbes to replace chemical fertilizers but wanted to avoid the delays and costs of sourcing equipment, securing lab space, and hiring a dedicated team. This led them to partner with vendor Culture Biosciences and utilize its cloud-based bioreactor services.

Culture Biosciences provided its cloud bioreactor platform to run Joyn Bio's design-build-test cycles, offering real-time data monitoring and a user-friendly web interface for data analysis. This solution allowed Joyn Bio to access fermentation expertise and infrastructure immediately without building their own lab. The results were significant, putting Joyn Bio several months ahead of its development schedule. The measurable impact was an accelerated R&D process, enabling faster iteration and progress towards their goal of creating a microbe to replace 30% of fertilizer applied to corn.
