Energy Efficiency in Bioreactor Scale-Up Processes
Scaling up bioreactors for cultivated meat production - from small (1–5 L) to large (1,000+ L) systems - brings energy challenges. Larger volumes require more power for mixing, oxygen transfer,...
Gelatex is an Estonian materials technology company revolutionizing the cultivated meat industry with its high-throughput HaloSpin™ technology. The company produces food-grade, 100% animal-free nanofibrous scaffolds and microcarriers that offer a cost-effective and scalable solution for producing structured, steak-like meat. By creating a 3D structure that closely mimics the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), Gelatex enables more efficient cell proliferation and differentiation, helping producers accelerate the path to commercial viability for cultured meat products.
