Introduction

Arquebio is a biotechnological company focused in the design and development of processes based on biocatalysis, from laboratory to industrial scale, for the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), Nutraceuticals and other high value molecules, with a clear focus towards Green chemistry and Sustainable Development.

Our technological platform consists in the use of enzymes or microorganisms (Wild or genetically modified or engineered) to perform chemical reactions that can substitute manufacturing processes based on classical organic chemistry.

The managing board of Arquebio S.L. is composed of 3 members.

The current Arquebio laboratory staff consists of 10 professionals from different fields such as biotechnology, chemistry or biochemistry.

Arquebio is constituting a Scientific Advisory Committee, composed of excellent experts in the field.

Our Technology

Arquebio SL develops bioprocesses using biocatalysts (enzymes or microorganisms) in single or multiple transformation steps.

Our technological platform P2B (Platform to Bio) is a useful tool to perform high throughput screening of biocatalysts, reaction conditions, suitable substrates and products obtained.

The screening can be done in a short
period of time and renders information
about different possible bioprocesses
and conditions that could be further
developed at a larger scale.

The information obtained from P2B
allows estimations of productivity, costs
and risks needed to confirm whether the
process is feasible at industrial scale

Products and services

Process development

Substitution of processes based on synthetic organic chemistry by biotechnology.

The development ranges from theoretical design to industrial scale-up and implementation. This latter phase is carried out by the customer under the support and supervision of Arquebio S.L.

Location

We are based in Barcelona (Spain).

Our R&D activities take place mainly in our own facilities, located in a 220 sq m. Lab in a traditional industrial area of Barcelona (Poble Nou).

We can perform almost all kind of chemical and biological analytical tasks using our own instruments (HPLC, GC, AA, UV-FTIR, microscopy, automated titration, etc.).

In addition to our internal activities, we can also perform analytical services for our customers.

Strategic Partners

We have also several strategic partners, that help us to develop and commercialize our technological platform and projects.

It is an extensive network of excellent specialists and professionals, companies and institutions that collaborate with Arquebio.
