The company name was derived from the explanation "from microreactor to process" what the m2p-labs systems are used for in laboratories. The company focuses on microreaction and automated solutions for screening and bioprocess development. Our commercialized products are the BioLector, the BioLector Pro, and the FlowerPlate, which provide an intelligent micro fermentation platform. This proprietary technology empowers the biotechnology, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries to increase the number and the information content of microbial experiments (aerobic, microaerophilic, and strictly anaerobic). It enables customers to conduct experiments with high efficiency and excellent quality in microscale at low costs.
