MaximaLabs

Bioreactive engineering

Aspen and HYSYS were built for petrochemicals — bioreactors are a bolt-on. MaximaLabs ships microbial fermentation and mammalian perfusion culture as first-class unit ops, with the downstream train on the same canvas.

Broth

A steady-state chemostat: substrate is consumed by Monod growth to produce biomass — the same canvas you edit in the app.

Monod kinetics, not a black box

The specific growth rate is resolved from substrate concentration and the chemostat's own dilution rate — a first-class reactor model, not a bolted-on kinetics script.

Continuous chemostat with Monod growth kinetics — substrate/product yield tracking.

Live plant integration

Stream real pH, dissolved-oxygen, and agitation tags from your fermenter's historian into this same flowsheet's twin comparison — deviations from the solved broth composition are flagged automatically.

Try it yourself

  • Monod and Haldane fermenters, and perfusion bioreactors with cell retention
  • Mammalian kinetics: multi-substrate growth, byproduct inhibition, maintenance and cell death
  • Downstream too — TFF buffer exchange on the canvas, plus Protein A, viral clearance and freeze-drying tools
