Description of the Service Centre
BIOALVO owns a large natural extract library mainly derived from marine microorganisms. In order to avoid the hurdle of having found a great bioactive and then not being able to resupply in the necessary scale, BIOALVO has developed an internal natural extracts manufacturing unit. At BIOALVO we can go from mg produced in a Labscale supply to Pilot scale Supply and even to Large scale supply, in the orders of several kg, guarantying a well controlled and smooth manufacturing process.
