Traditional forms of scale-up can be inefficient, cost-prohibitive, and exist on timelines detrimental to the success of many ventures. Our founding team experienced this first-hand, so they worked with the ecosystem to create an all-in-one infrastructure and support solution targeted to the specific needs of chemistry ventures.
Type I - Pre-Commercial Manufacturing Bay
A 7,030 sq.ft. manufacturing-zoned bay designed for high-intensity operations. Outfitted with a 5-tonne crane, blast walls, strobic fan capacity, overhead door, and a built-in scrubber, it offers robust safety and process support. On-site logistics and safety services ensure reliable, compliant, and efficient operation for pre-commercial manufacturing needs.
Type II - Chemistry Scale-Up Bay
A 3,100 sq.ft. R&D-zoned facility tailored for chemical process scale-up. Equipped with three 1-tonne cranes, a 12-ft walk-in fume hood, flexible utility access, strobic fan capacity, and overhead door. Supported by on-site safety and logistics.
Type III – Mechanical Scale-Up Bay
5,660 sq.ft. manufacturing-zoned bay with a 5.5-tonne crane, overhead door, and machine shop. Includes on-site safety and logistics support.
Shared Wet-Labs
3,920 sq.ft. R&D-zoned labs with flexible utility access (i.e. ventilation, water, power, compressed air, gases), movable benches, seven 6-ft fume hoods, and an on-site ThermoFisher self-serve store.
Analytical Suite
1,090 sq.ft. dedicated lab equipped with ICP-OES, GC-MS, potentiostat, FTIR, and UV-Vis for advanced analytical support.
