BAC-IN-A-BOX
Austrianova is a B2B company that offers a living cell bioencapsulation technology called Bac-in-the-Box® that has a proven safety record. Your company sends your bacteria or yeast to us, we encapsulate them either at research or GMP grade and send them back to you. Our living cell encapsulation technology encloses your bacteria or yeast cells in porous beads made of biocompatible, biologically inert, cellulose sulphate polymers. Encapsulated bacteria and yeast are protected from harsh environments such as low pH as found in the stomach for extended periods (hours). Further, encapsulated bacteria can be freeze dried and easily transported or stored at ambient temperature without spoilage.
whY BAC-IN-A-BOX
Bac-in-a-Box protection of living bacteria and yeast not only provides a uniquely resistant product that survives long term acid exposure with virtually no losses (at least 4 logs better than competing technologies), but it also enables packaging and storage as a dry, rehydratable product with excellent stability at room temperature. It can be used in human and animal food supplements and microbiome interventions as well as in farming, aquaculture and water remediation, as well as in cosmeceuticals and cosmetics. An exciting new use is in the protection of bacterial mixtures during fecal transplantation for delivery and colonization of the bacteria or yeast in the lower intestine.
