Biocalorimetry, the science behind the calScreener™, is revolutionizing the way companies approach the development of probiotics. This technology simplifies the study of complex interactions, conserves valuable time and resources in screening, and can be instrumental in ensuring product safety and efficacy. The calScreener™ has demonstrated high value in media optimization for probiotic production, and providing phenotypic readouts in opaque and complex growth media. Its key benefits include rapid analysis, non-destructive assay, and the ability to run any type of media. It offers direct metabolism measurement from single and multi-species cultures, and activity yield, setting a new standard in the field.
