Production Profile
Our production is high‑value, fine‑scale, and laboratory‑based. We do not require mass labour, and our processes generate no harmful emissions or pollution.
Safe and Clean Laboratory Operations
- Use of biosafe raw materials; no routine handling of hazardous chemicals
- Occasional use of organic acids (~once per month), managed with fan‑forced ventilation to the outside (minor to mild odour possible)
- All production and experiments are conducted under sterile conditions in an extremely clean environment
Noise Considerations
Equipment noise levels remain below 70 dB and are confined indoors
- –80 °C freezer: continuous low‑frequency noise
- Vacuum pump: occasional vibration during overnight operation
Facility Standards
Our current working environment (in the University of Adelaide) is safe and clean can be seen pics below. The new facility will be redecorated to the same style and standard.
