Sacco System launches Microbiome, the complete suite to support companies worldwide

Marco Caspani: ‘With the launch of our new Microbial Therapeutic business-line we are directing our efforts and strong focus to the field of Biotherapeutics’.

Sacco System is proudly launching its new Microbiome market area to support companies worldwide in the development, process validation, and commercial production of probiotics, postbiotics, Next-Generation bacteria (from aerobic to obligate anaerobic strains) and live biotherapeutics (LBPs).

The FDA defines live biotherapeutics (LBPs) as biological products that contains live organisms and are applied to the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition. Interest in LBPs as a solution to several health disorders has grown exponentially in the last few years.

In full support of this vision, Sacco System is launching Microbiome by Sacco System: its full suite of active ingredients and services conceived for the development and scale-up of Probiotics, Postbiotics and (LBPs) Microbial Therapeutics for application to the supplement, biotech, and pharma industries.
