BioLifeScience is a leading company in the production of natural Astaxanthin, a substance that is used in high-end food supplements and cosmetics. The company is unique in the way it deploys environmentally sustainable techniques to cultivate and harvest algae that naturally produce Astaxanthin in the final stages of their development. To optimize production, BioLifeScience deploys the Motive Metrics® engine to monitor and characterize the development of the algae throughout the cultivation process. The system enables the classification of the development stage of each individual specimen of the single-cellular organisms in a sample containing thousands.

By building up statistics, crucial insight is gained about the relationship between process parameters and the development of the algae. Furthermore, the Motive Metrics® engine detects contaminations, that may develop in the production vessels, in the earliest possible stage and monitors their development. The co-operation with BioLifeScience is a perfect example of how we help customers in the food- and life sciences industry to optimize and monitor their production processes.
