Reusable vs Single-Use Cold Chain Packaging
If I am moving cultivated meat in the UK, the packaging choice is usually simple: reusable packs suit closed, repeat lanes with dependable returns; single-use packs suit open, one-way, or...
Founded by leading scientists from the Tufts University Center of Cellular Agriculture, Deco Labs is dedicated to creating impactful technologies for the cellular agriculture ecosystem. Up first, Deco is developing low-cost, food-grade cell culture media ingredients as drop-in replacements for the expensive synthetic, recombinant and animal-derived components used today. Deco is currently accepting pre-orders for its initial products.

Real-Time Cell Monitoring: Optical Transparency Challenges
If I cannot see through the scaffold, I cannot trust the readout. In cultivated meat, optical monitoring often fails for two simple reasons: light scattering and refractive index mismatch. As...

Contact Plates vs Swabs: Sampling Comparison
If I had to reduce this choice to one rule, it would be this: use contact plates on flat, easy-to-reach surfaces, and use swabs on curved, recessed or awkward ones....

Fouling Prevention in Membrane Filtration Systems
If flux drops, TMP climbs, and clean-water recovery stays low after cleaning, the membrane is not the root issue on its own - the feed, run window, and cleaning sequence...

Checklist for Bioreactor Procurement in Cultivated Meat
If you buy the wrong bioreactor, you do not just lose capex - you can lose months of scale-up and review work. If I were shortlisting a reactor for cultivated...

Media Recycling in Cultivated Meat: Key Techniques
If you run cultivated meat media at scale, direct reuse is not the answer. I’d treat recycling as a closed-loop conditioning step: measure spent media first, remove inhibitors such as...

Electrospinning Systems for Cultivated Meat Scaffolds
If I’m choosing an electrospinning system for cultivated meat, I’d start with one fact: the machine sets the limit on fibre alignment, defect rate, sterility, and output long before cell...

Autoclave vs Chemical Sterilization for Scaffolds
If I had to reduce this choice to one line, it would be this: use steam for scaffolds that can take 121 °C to 134 °C without changing shape or...
