DIREVO Optimization Platform

Directed evolution is an extremely efficient technology for the optimization of bio-molecular functions, be it single protein properties or whole cell processes. It does this by transferring the principles of Darwinian evolution to the molecular level, i.e. by applying variation, amplification and selection in a cyclic manner. DIREVO offers unique approaches for the rapid, multiparameter improvement of a wide range of proteins or strains. Direvo’s integrated processes combine efficient methods for mutation and recombination of genes and application-relevant assays with high throughput screening (HTS) technologies. These processes are fully automated, work in highly miniaturized formats, feature throughput rates of up to 150.000 individual variants per day and are covered by 38 patent and license families.
