uFraction8 is a pioneering startup specializing in advanced bioseparation technologies. The company has developed innovative microfluidics-based filter systems designed to provide bio-manufacturers with energy-efficient and highly scalable bioprocessing solutions. These systems are particularly useful for processes such as viral vector manufacturing, monoclonal antibody production, and any continuous flow perfusion culture systems.
The core technology of uFraction8 involves "The Chip," a precisely patterned geometry that processes liquids as they are pumped through the system. These chips are stacked in hundreds of layers to form "The Stack," enabling the processing of high volumes of liquid in a compact unit. To ensure uniform flow, a specially designed pressure-distributing manifold is used.
uFraction8 primarily serves clients in the biopharmaceutical industry, including companies involved in the production of viral vectors and monoclonal antibodies. The market it operates in is the bioprocessing sector, which is a crucial part of the broader biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
The business model of uFraction8 revolves around selling its advanced bioseparation systems to bio-manufacturers. The company generates revenue through the sale of these systems, as well as potentially through maintenance services and system upgrades. The technology's ability to maintain cell viability and propagation, as confirmed by independent testing, makes it a highly attractive option for bio-manufacturers looking to improve efficiency and scalability.
In summary, uFraction8 offers a cutting-edge solution for bio-manufacturers, enabling them to achieve more efficient and scalable bioprocessing. The company's innovative use of microfluidics technology positions it as a leader in the bioseparation market.
