TEKINBIO™ - Precision Fermentation Bioreactor for Your Scale-Up

Confidence in Every Culture

Developing new fermentation-based foods and bringing them to market requires more than just a promising strain. Success depends on the ability to reproduce results at scale, maintain strict control over every culture parameter, and adapt quickly to process challenges. Maintaining sterility and regulatory compliance adds further complexity, requiring demonstrated bioprocess expertise.

The TEKINBIO bioreactor line is designed to bridge this gap by securing the production, expression and scale-up of your most valuable strains, with engineered control over oxygen transfer, mixing and precise temperature control. Supported by multi-expertise Boccard teams and Track Advance digital solution, TEKINBIO empowers you to scale confidently, delivering consistent quality, regulatory assurance, and technical partnership at every step.

MASTERING YOUR SCALE-UP STARTS HERE

The TEKINBIO bioreactor family is a fermenter that secures scale-up and production and of your valuable strain, with controlled culture conditions through optimised aeration, perfect homogenisation and precise thermal regulation, all managed via our modular digital solution Track Advance.

  • Optimised Aeration: Precise gas delivery and transfer adjusted to your strain’s needs, with adjustable sparger geometry and controlled headspace pressure. CFD-validated design ensures optimal oxygenation and bubble dispersion, for guaranteed VVM range and consistent performance from lab to industrial scale.

  • Perfect Homogeneisation: Equipped with an agitation system engineered and designed in-house for uniform mixing, validated by CFD to minimize dead zones and shear stress. By optimizing impeller type and rotation speed, TEKINBIO achieves rapid, reproducible mixing times even in large volumes or viscous media, ensuring homogeneity and process stability for every batch.

  • Precise Thermal Regulation: Double-jacketed vessels and advanced temperature control loops maintain thermal regulation within ±0.5°C, critical for sensitive strains and complex processes. Fast heat-up and cooling cycles, combined with flexible setpoints (10-150°C), enable accurate process control and reproducibility across all scales.

  • Product Sterility: Integrated CIP/SIP systems and hygienic design guarantee sterility throughout the process. Automated pressure management prevents contamination, while cleaning-in-place validation and traceability are supported by Track Advance, ensuring compliance with the highest food safety standards.

  • Track Advance: Our modular digital solution for real-time monitoring, recipe management and batch comparison. Adapted to fermentation and R&D, it offers flexibility to adapt recipes and parameters in real time, for frequent adjustments and iterative optimisation. With full traceability and repeatability, document every adjustment, ensure regulatory compliance and reproduce successful runs with confidence for a robust scale-up.

YOUR PARTNER FROM STRAIN TO industrial scale

Mastering fermentation is more than just equipment. Our offer goes beyond bioreactor: we provide end-to-end SME (Subject-Matter Expert) support and technical partnership during strain, scale-up and supply equipments for industrial scale production (pre-culture, intermediate seed, main fermentation), no matter your team’s in-house experience.

  • Advanced CFD Simulations & Precise Mixing Time Validation: Our engineers use advanced and in-house CFD modelling to optimize agitation and validate mixing times, ensuring homogeneity and process stability for even the most challenging cultures. The expertise required to de-risk scale-up and achieve reproducible results from R&D to industrial scale.

  • End-to-End Technical Assistance & Maintenance: Benefit from hands-on support by our fermentation experts, whether you need process troubleshooting, start-up assistance, or ongoing maintenance. We offer flexible service contracts and remote guidance, so even teams without dedicated bioprocess staff can operate with confidence.

  • Simplified USP/DSP Integration: TEKINBIO is designed for seamless integration into your upstream and downstream processes, whether they are part of an existing production line or a completely new fermentation line construction in a greenfield installation. TEKINBIO serves as the core of a full turnkey solution.

  • Complete International Certifications: We help you navigate complex regulatory environments with a full range of international certifications and compliance support. Our global experience ensures your installation meets all relevant standards.
