CellX Biosolutions develops bacterial-based biotechnologies to degrade persistent chemical pollutants such as PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, agro‑chemical waste, and microplastics. Their platform isolates and optimizes native bacterial communities, then scales them into commercial treatment solutions for wastewater and contaminated sites. This approach offers a sustainable, cost‑effective alternative to conventional chemical waste disposal methods.

Problem
Current methods for treating chemical waste, including micropollutants like microplastics, PFAS, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, often rely on unsustainable chemical disposal methods. These methods can be costly and environmentally damaging, failing to fully degrade harmful substances and potentially leading to further contamination.
Solution
CellX Biosolutions offers a sustainable alternative by harnessing the power of bacteria to degrade persistent chemical pollutants. The company's patented microfluidics technology captures and scales bacterial consortia with superior degradation capabilities for specific micropollutants. These biological solutions are implemented in industrial chemical storage reservoirs and wastewater treatment plants, providing a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach to waste management. CellX Biosolutions also offers biodiscovery services to identify custom bacterial communities tailored to specific chemical waste treatment needs, as well as biodegradability studies to assess the natural biodegradability of chemical products in various aquatic environments.
Target Audience
CellX Biosolutions primarily serves industrial chemical producers, contract manufacturers, and wastewater treatment plants seeking sustainable and cost-effective solutions for chemical waste management.
