Equipment

Agritechnology maintains state-of-the-art equipment

Agritechnology’s unique facilities feature multi-scale operations from bench top to demonstration scale, ie reactors at 2l, 35l, 150l, 500l, 2000l and 10,000l complete with up- and downstream equipment. The pilot plant is designed for ease of reconfiguration.

The facility is equipped for procedures in chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, food science, fermentation and biochemical engineering.

Agritechnology has well-equipped analytical laboratories to cover our activities and we have protocols for efficiently monitoring and supporting our operations. We regularly monitor our analytical accuracy against the Australian Federal Government National Measurement Institute.

We engage international providers for analytical services that are not available in Australia and we undertake wide-ranging benchmarking activities across laboratories for more obscure analyses.
