Discover the Biomebox
We united best-of-class environment control technologies to create a new kind of bioreactor for complex organisms, starting with plants. The Biomebox® opens up new fields of possibilities in research and industrial applications, focused on the production of high-value ingredients with a cost-effective and scalable solution.
Pitch-perfect precision farming
We deliver solutions for the most ambitious high-value ingredient production projects, to precisely steer any metabolic path. We believe in environment specialization for each crop and application. Start a new indoor farming experience now.
State-of-the art environment control to replicate any biome from tropics to high mountains, with perfect uniformity and stability.
Different sizes and layouts available for a perfect fit with your target crops and applications – from tall-growing plants to root culture or high-density cultivation.
Manage a virtually unlimited number of units in the same location : increase your production diversity, or scale your growing area with your needs in a painless way.
Go beyond T and RH measurements, with a new set of advanced metrics and sensors. Get deep and actionable insights into what's really happening in the plant, not just at the environmental level.
New biological superpowers
The Biomebox provides a comprehensive runtime for programming crop cycles : sunrise and sunset, seasonal amplitude, scheduled abiotic stresses – you'll have total control over the biological playbook to execute.
Here are some examples of what you could do :
- Drive floral induction for evergreen flower production
- Improve active compounds concentration in the plant
- Produce consistent quality plant material : seeds, bulbs, rhizomes, clones
- Invent new environment paradigms never seen on earth
Lab-grade design
The Biomebox is designed with high conformity standards to fit in every laboratory environment and ensure a production with top level quality and security.
- Stainless steel reach-in enclosure
- Only food-grade & corrosion-resistant materials for sanitary compliance and durability
- CE, UL, FCC, NSF conformity for all subsystems
- Worldwide compatibility (electrical, water, telecom)
- Made in France, components from top EU suppliers
