Quorus Biotech (Pty) Ltd was established with venture capital in May 2011, spinning out from Synexa Life Sciences (Pty) Ltd in order to commercialise proprietary bioreactor products and bioprocess solutions. Quorus Biotech offers a range of single-use membrane bioreactors and related control systems designed and engineered for the cultivation of stable productive biofilms that cannot be easily cultured in traditional fermentation systems. The key to Quorus’s innovation lies in its ability to harness the natural phenomenon of biofilm formation in a fully automated, low-sheer environment that enables the scalable cultivation of various cell types and the continuous, efficient production of secreted, toxic, labile or volatile natural and recombinant products. An innovative team of scientists and engineers facilitate technology transfer and offer contract-based research and manufacturing services to clients who prefer to outsource process development and compound manufacturing capabilities.
