Born from academic research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Center for Advanced Sensor Technology, Aero-Yield makes patented breathable shake flasks for early bioprocess development. Its walls improve oxygen transfer and carbon-dioxide removal while supporting non-invasive sensor integration, addressing the oxygen limitation common in conventional shake flasks. The company’s 500 mL flask is pre-sterilized and designed to deliver more productive cell growth without changing a laboratory’s workflow.
Scientific BioprocessingScientific Bioprocessing grew from Fluorometrix Corp., formed in 1999 around optical sensing patents for monitoring conditions inside living cell cultures. Now part of a history that includes Scientific Industries and aquila biolabs, the company helps bioprocess researchers replace guesswork with real-time data, particularly in shake-flask experiments.PITTSBURGH, PA
