About Us
As a company, LentiKat's a.s. was founded in April 2006. Its ownership structure solely consists of Czech nationals and corporate bodies. The company's focus is on Lentikats Biotechnology, i.e. an original technology for the encapsulation of bacteria, enzymes or microorganisms in a so-called “Lentikats Biocatalyst”.
Lentikats Biotechnology was discovered by Professor Doctor Klaus-Dieter Vorlop of the University in Braunschweig (Germany), but it was a Czech company that first started using the technology in industrial applications, followed by LentiKat's a.s. since 2006.
Lentikats Biotechnology is protected and patented in dozens of countries worldwide.
The company’s objective is to promote this revolutionary technology in various industrial applications all over the world. This mainly concerns manufacturing, development, and application of the Biocatalysts for industrial use in the following fields:
- Pharmaceutical industry - production of robust biocatalysts,
- Food processing industries,
- Distilleries - ethanol production processes,
- Wastewater treatment.
LentiKat's a.s. has been successfully cooperating with several renowned companies worldwide and is also involved in a number of scientific and research projects with leading universities.
Scope of Activities
Lentikats Biocatalyst: Production & Supplies
In our manufacturing plant, LentiKat's a.s. is able to manufacture polyvinyl alcohol-based carriers, so-called “Lentikats Biocatalysts”, encapsulating any bacteria, microorganism and/or enzyme of your choice.
A low capacity production (mainly for research facilities) can be carried out using a so-called “LENTIPRINTER” . This laboratory-scale manufacturing device is available for purchase, including operating instructions and all material necessary for the production of immobilisates. LENTIPRINTER has been already supplied for research purposes to a number of institutions around the world.
Consultancy
LentiKat's a.s. provides comprehensive professional services. Your order will be followed by:
- selection of a suitable enzymatic/bacterial preparation,
- determination of the Biocatalyst's Kinetics in repeated batch tests or in a continuous operation,
- process proposal,
- pilot-scale verification of the operational parameters,
- economic evaluation of the proposed system,
- detailed proposal for implementation or integration of Lentikats Biotechnology into an existing process,
- project execution.
Research & Development
Lentikats Biotechnology can be used for the immobilisation of microorganisms or enzymes utilised in various fermentation processes, bioconversions, biotransformations and hydrolytic processes.
