Product
Problem
Manufacturers of nutritional, personal care, and health products increasingly need functional bio-ingredients that provide specific health benefits, but developing and scaling these complex molecules is technically challenging. Traditional production methods often lack sustainability, scalability, and the precision required to deliver consistent, high-quality ingredients that meet regulatory standards.
Solution
Primogene develops bioprocesses for producing and manufacturing functional ingredients that support health throughout life, from early-life nutrition to senior nutrition. The company leverages proprietary enzymatic manufacturing platforms and a recombinant enzyme production system to enable sustainable, robust ingredient manufacturing. Primogene offers end-to-end custom development services, guiding clients from ingredient design and proof-of-concept through upstream and downstream processing to large-scale production. Their capabilities include bioreactor processing from 0.5 L to 100 L scale, purification via chromatography and filtration, and formulation through spray drying, freeze drying, and syrup production.
Target Audience
Primogene serves manufacturers in the nutrition, personal care, and health sectors, including companies developing early-life, preterm, and senior nutrition products, as well as pharmaceutical and research organizations needing specialty bio-ingredients.
