Unlock the Full Potential of Your Microbial Innovations
Are you ready to take your microbial innovations to the next level? We’re here to help.
With a deep understanding of the microbial industry’s value and complexities – along with a team of microbiologists and engineers – we offer a unique opportunity for you to collaborate with a trusted Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO).
Access points are current techniques, equipment inputs, or crop “passes” that present an opportunity for platform innovation. Those innovations could include formulation, streamlining the supply chain, enhancing packaging for optimal performance, or creating a prototype for enablement.
At each step of the project, 3BarBio – with assistance from the selected partner – will document the process, which may include video, audio, and illustrations. These will be used for external publicity or marketing purposes, as deemed appropriate by 3BarBio.
