Technical and scientific consulting

We develop, optimize and secure chemical and bioprocesses for the Life Science Industries.

Ypso-Facto is a result-oriented and challenge-driven organization that supports the Pharma, Biopharma, Food and feed, Cosmetics, Flavor and Fragrances industries to develop and enhance their chemical and bioprocesses. We assist the different actors of the value chain, from the molecule originators to the Contract Manufacturing Organizations and the equipment providers to support globally the manufacturing activities, from early development to operations.

we support you from exploratory to operations, from R&D to production, including scale-up, feasibility and proof of concept

Our unique methodology

We work in close collaboration with our clients, building on their expertise enhanced by our chemical engineering, mechanistic modelling, and simulation capabilities.

With our GPX® approach, we propose to capitalize on experimental data and the educated guess of the experts to build a “virtual laboratory”. The virtual experiments are performed by simulation to predict reliably the process performances with minimal experimental burden. Our in-silico approach relies on our proprietary software-suite Ypso-Proxima and custom model developments to address more specific needs.

Free from industrial property, we remain fully independent and we offer unbiased recommendations.

With objective process comparisons, we help you make informed business decisions based on technical, ecological, and economic elements.

Examples of projects we address daily include:

Development of a new process
Optimization of an existing process (improve yield, increase productivity)
Reduction of environmental impact (reduction of raw material consumption and waste)
Development of a mechanistic model
Debottlenecking
Troubleshooting
Improvement of process robustness
Scale-up
Techno-economic evaluation
Perform simulations as a service
Improve process understanding
Determine the design space

We have a holistic process approach to identify the bottlenecks to address in priority. We also have a solid expertise with a variety of unit operations covering the USP and DSP sections of your process:

We have worked on a wide range of fine chemical products including monoatomic ions (Lithium, etc), small molecules (organic acids, sugars, antibiotics, optical isomers, omega 3, etc), peptides and oligonucleotides, proteins (including monoclonal antibodies), polymers, silica-based adsorbents, and more!
