Research & Development
Since 2020, within a four-laboratory infrastructure totaling 200 m², work has been carried out on the cultivation of microalgae under controlled conditions, the recovery of natural components, and their translation into product candidates. Following stability and safety assessments, samples are prepared for the pilot manufacturing stage through formulation trials.

Cultivation & Bioprocess
-
Aseptic cultivation in shaken and aerated systems; mesophilic and psychrotolerant programs.
-
Programmable light modules (visible/UV) and controlled gas supply (air/CO₂).
-
Optimization of temperature–light–gas composition; a lab-to-pilot scale-up plan.
Extraction & Purification Streams
-
Extraction–fractionation streams for phycobiliproteins (PC/PE), exopolysaccharides (EPS), and UV-protective biomolecules.
-
Pre-treatment, clarification, membrane-based polishing/concentration, and reproducible purification steps.
Analytical Panel (Bioactive & Composition)
-
Pigment/chlorophyll quantification; total sugars and protein.
-
FAME profiling; photosynthesis–respiration performance.
-
Antioxidant assays: DPPH, ABTS, Folin–Ciocalteu (total phenolics).
-
Monosaccharide analysis; intracellular lipid tracking (BODIPY, Nile Red).
Cultivation Conditions
UV exposure, light intensity/spectrum, and gas composition are controlled; temperature and light regimes are tuned to the strain and target profile.
Applications & Biostimulants
Biostimulant generation and lab-scale application protocols; preliminary stability and formulation compatibilitystudies.
Output
Method and results report, target component/raw-material specifications, and technology-transfer notes for scale-up.
