What We Offer

Fermentor upscale

YDLabs provides end-to-end demo-scale biomanufacturing services designed specifically for AgBio companies preparing for greenhouse and field trials.

  • Process development & optimization for scale-up readiness
  • Fermentation scale-up up to 1,000L (starting 15,000L in Q4 2026)
  • Downstream processing into field-trial-ready formats
  • Delivery of consistent batches suitable for multi-site trial

YDLabs’ technical team is led by Dr. Moti Rebhun, who has an extensive track record in precision and biomass fermentation, spanning from process development, optimization and manufacturing.

As a Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), YDLabs’ experienced team and state-of-the-art equipment facilitate seamless navigation through every fermentation phase. Our integrated and iterative approach allows us to tailor steps and phases to meet the specific objectives of each customer and project.
To manage risk and control costs effectively, creating a balance between the speed of scale-up and feasibility testing at the smallest possible scale is paramount. Early exposure to industrial conditions accelerates development, enabling rapid adjustments. Occasionally, returning to the laboratory on a smaller pilot scale, either to introduce a new strain or investigate a phenomenon following larger production runs, turns out to be the most efficient approach.

Our guidelines
Sustainability

We evaluate the risks and safety aspects associated with chemical use prior to scaling up a process. This involves examining the compatibility of ingredients and process conditions with equipment, the environment, relevant permits, and legislation. Throughout the process development phase, we enhance the sustainability of the process, such as reducing water consumption, eliminating organic solvents, substituting hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives, and converting chemical steps into enzymatic ones.

Our mission is to create a product that meets quality expectations while minimizing production costs entails setting targets and refining the process until these goals and benchmarks are achieved.

Evaluating the resilience of the process during its operation on industrial equipment is crucial. Understanding the reproducibility of your process and its response to deviations or perturbations will enhance your preparedness for commercial production. A commercial setting, which lacks the same level of meticulous monitoring as a bench-scale process, requires process adaptation. Minimizing the failure rate is essential to enhance the economic feasibility of the process.
