01

Proprietary Hardware

We use advanced microfabrication and microfluidics to create biochips for high-throughput testing of biomolecules. This lets us rapidly pinpoint the best biomolecule candidates for metal extraction.

02

Cell-free System

We formulate our biomolecules in a cell-free system – meaning we don’t need to grow living cells to produce them. This approach lets us test and tweak candidates much faster, simplifies deployment at the mine site, and minimizes downtime.

03

Data-driven, AI-Powered

Our AI analyzes data from our tests to continually refine biomolecule designs for each mine’s conditions. This feedback loop means our solutions keep getting more efficient and selective over time.
