Biosecurity

Preventative measures to protect your algae culture or downstream organisms from biological risks, or pathogens. All water entering our bioreactors passes through several levels of filtration. Water is prefiltered to 0.5 µm, passed through a UV sterilizer, an absolute 0.2 µm filter, and finally through a 0.1 µm absolute capsule filter. This staged filtration ensures that water enters the bioreactor without contaminants. Air entering and leaving the reactor is also filtered to 0.2 µm.
