California biotech company


The Fermworks interface is very easy to use and navigate, well organized and
intuitive. One of the reasons we chose Fermworks is because of the flexibility to set up each station for a variety of devices. Fermworks has allowed us to not only automate our process, but very closely duplicate the control strategies used at production scale.
