Case Study: Uncommon accelerates cultivated meat media optimization with Synthace

Uncommon completes 9 months of media research in weeks with Synthace

Uncommon, a company focused on cultivated meat production, faced challenges with the astronomical cost of commercial media, the feasibility of screening numerous factors, and ensuring reproducibility in their experiments. They needed a solution that would allow their scientists to explore vast design spaces without writing code. To overcome these obstacles, they turned to Synthace.

By implementing design of experiments (DOE) on the Synthace platform, Uncommon was able to optimize cell growth and differentiation. This solution allowed them to explore 22 factors in a single experiment, complete nine months of research in weeks, and reduce media costs by 15 times. Synthace enabled Uncommon to greatly increase cellular yield while reducing costs by an order of magnitude.
