Botanical Solution triples its Quillay production thanks to RAYPA media preparators

Discover the experience of Gustavo Zúñiga Libano, Deputy Production Manager at Botanical Solution

In the biotech industry, production efficiency and product quality are fundamental aspects. Botanical Solution, an innovative Chilean company dedicated to the development of agricultural and pharmaceutical solutions, has found an essential ally in RAYPA media preparators to scale its production capacity. Gustavo Zúñiga Libano, Deputy Production Manager, shares his experience with this technology and the benefits it has brought to the company.

Botanical Solution specializes in the production of Quillay biomass, an endemic tree of Chile, through in vitro culture and plant biotechnology. This biomass is used to create products with biocontrol properties that are highly demanded in the agricultural industry, as well as saponins used as adjuvants in vaccine manufacturing. With the growing demand for these products, the company needed to optimize its production process.

"The implementation of RAYPA's media preparator has been a decisive change for us," Gustavo comments. "Before, the preparation of semi-solid media was a manual and laborious process, but with the media preparator, we have managed to triple our Quillay plant production and halve the workforce." The 100-liter model they acquired allowed them to overcome bottlenecks that limited their production capacity.

The team at Botanical Solution has greatly benefited from the capacity of RAYPA media preparator, which integrates preparation, sterilization, cooling, dispensing, and cleaning of dispensing lines into a single device. This has improved not only efficiency but also the quality and reproducibility of the culture media used. Gustavo adds, "The equipment is very user-friendly and easy to operate, which has facilitated its adoption by our staff."

Thanks to the process optimization, Botanical Solution has been able to meet the growing demand for its products in international markets, with registrations in countries such as Peru, Mexico, the United States, and soon Europe and Brazil. Moreover, the company continues to innovate, exploring new applications of its technology for the pharmaceutical industry.
