uFraction8Very interesting technology from µFraction8 based at Heriot Watt University in Scotland may help address sustainable farming approaches for food, animal feed and pharmaceuticals bioproduction.  Sustainable approaches can use 20x less land area.  Post bioreactor dewatering comprises ~40% of the cost of bioproduction; µFraction8’s microfluidic devices can potentially reduce the cost of dewatering by 75%, which would have a dramatic impact on viability.  See Akzo Nobel article for more details.
