Ready to start building using grow:bot?

At twig, we find the best possible microbe to produce your ingredients using our fast, automated builder, grow:bot. In a matter of weeks, you can go from concept to having your own engineered microbe.

Our wet-lab combines fast micro-scale microbe builds, with high-throughput fermentation screening. And all of our microbes are built to last, ready for large-scale and continuous fermentation systems.
