Problem
Traditional bioreactor systems often present challenges due to high capital costs and a lack of flexibility, hindering efficient biomanufacturing processes. These systems can be difficult to scale and may not provide the throughput and data acquisition needed for rapid experimentation and process optimization. This can lead to extended R&D timelines and increased expenses for companies developing biological products.
Solution
Caladan Bio offers a next-generation benchtop bioreactor platform designed to streamline bioprocessing and accelerate the development of biomade products. The Caladan system integrates hardware, software, and automation into a modular, user-friendly platform that enables high-throughput experimentation and real-time monitoring. By combining a complete suite of sensors, single-use and reusable tank options, and automated sampling capabilities, the system provides comprehensive control and data acquisition. The integrated software offers a no-code interface for experiment design, live experiment views, and integrated data analytics, facilitating faster iteration and data-driven process optimization.
Target Audience
Caladan Bio's primary customers include early-stage companies developing biomade products, R&D teams seeking to expand high-throughput capabilities, industry leaders seeking advanced automation, and pharma bioprocess teams.
