Our Network
Our Bioprocessing Scale-Up Centres are part of a wider network of scale-up facilities. Through these networks we can help signpost you to a vast array of scale-up and support services.
FlexBIO is part of the Co-Pilot Project developing the next generation of searchable EU-based scale-up infrastructure.
Accelerate Your BioInnovation with Pilots4U - Pilots4U brings together public and private pilot and demo facilities across Europe into one open-access network. Whether you’re a start-up, SME, researcher, or innovator, discover the infrastructure, expertise, and partners you need to scale your process. Collaboratively, affordably, and transparently.
Explore a searchable database of pilot & demo equipment and services
Connect with facilities suited to biomass, fermentation, green chemistry, purification and more
Add your own infrastructure to the network and unlock new collaboration opportunities
Benefit from matchmaking, scale-up support, and community growth
Edinburgh Genome Foundry: DNA Design and Assembly
The Edinburgh Genome Foundry (EGF) is a national facility based at the University of Edinburgh that specialises in the assembly of genetic constructs for academic and industrial customers to equip cells with new or improved functions.
They deliver high-throughput projects involving long constructs (>5kbp), constructs comprising large numbers of genetic parts, or combinatorial libraries. Our platform is agnostic on the host chassis; to date we have assembled constructs for use in bacteria, yeast, algae and mammalian cells.

Edinomics: Cell Analysis
Edinomics is a specialist facility based at the University of Edinburgh that provides proteomics and metabolomics services for qualitative and quantitative analysis. It applies analytical approaches on biological samples to probe cellular components (proteins or metabolites) to help researchers better understanding the underlying mechanisms that lead to biologically observed phenotypes.

Edinburgh Protein Production Facility: Protein Production and Characterisation
The Edinburgh Protein Production Facility offers rapid solutions to the production of proteins and the biophysical characterisation of their ligands. The facility has bacterial, yeast, mammalian and baculovirus expression platforms and can deliver a wide range of biophysical characterisations.
