VitroTEM
Graphene liquid cells at a click
VitroTEM is developing a breakthrough technology to study dynamic biological processes through electron microscopy. Electron microscopy is based on creating a vacuum to visualize material at the molecular level, this means that it is not possible to study for example living cells in medium as the liquid evaporates immediately under the vacuum.
VitroTEM has discovered a technology based on graphene, enabling the production of so-called Graphene Liquid Cell (GLC). Using GLC’s, scientists can visualize and investigate biological processes and even whole, living cells under the electron microscope. VitroTEM believes their technology can create a revolutionary change in the way we can look at the molecular dynamics of biology.

Interview | Bram Kerssemakers - Programme Manager Protein Port
Bram Kerssemakers recently joined the Planet B.io team as Programme Manager Protein Port. He will take responsibility on all activities within Protein Port, a network of companies, institutes and educational institutions aimed at strengthening and accelerating the protein transition. We had a talk with Bram about his career and experience.
Plant One new owner of Bioprocess Pilot Facility at Biotech Campus Delft
Plant One, an established pilot plant company specialized in sustainable production processes, will be the new owner of the Bioprocess Pilot Facility at Biotech Campus Delft. Plant One will further develop the current bioprocess facility into a full-service pilot plant for companies active in biobased and/or biotechnology processes, from SME's to multinationals. The deal was signed at the Biotech Campus Delft earlier today.
Paques Biomaterials | Natural alternatives to plastic
Plastic is everywhere and from its production to its disposal, plastic has a huge impact on our planet. In nature, plastics break down into small particles called microplastics, which accumulate in the food chain. Planet B.io’s resident Paques Biomaterials uses a variety of residual streams to create a biobased and biodegradable alternative to plastic: Caleyda®.
