Advanced High-Throughput Technologies Platform for Biorefineries Catalysts Design

REALCAT
Biology and health Chemistry and materials Platform

We are a high-throughput screening platform, unique in the world, dedicated to catalysis in all its forms, i.e. biocatalysis (enzymes and fermentation), chemical catalysis (homogeneous and heterogeneous) as well as their new combinations (hybrid catalysis). With its extraordinary potential, our platform is a major player in all fields related to catalysis, such as the environment, energy, health and nutrition. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
