About us

Green Elephant Biotech is redefining the manufacturing of adherent cells. Fueled by innovative technology and environmental commitment, we prioritize the planet by utilizing plant-based polymers in our products.

Green Elephant Biotech is pioneering the use of Polylactic Acid (PLA) for labware. Through the utilization of this plant-based polymer, we have reduced the production carbon footprint of our first product, the CellScrew®, by up to 90% compared to conventional systems. The innovation of the CellScrew® lies in its internal structure, providing scalable and sustainable solutions for adherent cell bioprocessing. By integrating sustainability, production efficiency, and technical innovation, Green Elephant is redefining the fields of cell and gene therapy as well as biopharmaceuticals.

Products & Services

Green Elephant Biotech redefines the adherent cell manufacturing and is the world's first company to offer consumables for laboratories made from plant-based plastics.

The first product is the CellScrew®, a novel cell culture system designed for the expansion of adherent cells. The inner structure, consisting of ten concentric cylinders and Archimedes' Screws, distributes media and gas consistently through rotation, providing an excellent growth environment for the cells. A special TC-treatment creates an ideal surface for cell attachment and growth.

The compact design allows for easy handling, saving incubator space, and reduction of CO₂ emissions. The CellScrew® is sustainably made from plant-based Polylactic Acid (PLA) and is available in two sizes: CellScrew®10K (10,000 cm²) and CellScrew®6K (6,000 cm²).

Green Elephant's next product will be a sustainable standard consumable made of PLA, launching next year.

CellScrew®

The CellScrew® is a novel cell culture system designed for the expansion of adherent cells. Media and gas are distributed through an Archimedes' Screw by rotation, providing an excellent environment for the cells. Concentric cylinders inside the vessel create a substantial growth area.
The compact design allows for easy handling and saves incubator space. The CellScrew® is 3D-printed and made from plant-based PLA, which leads to a 90% reduction of CO₂ emissions compared to other systems.

The CellScrew® is a novel cell culture flask with an enlarged surface for adherent cell expansion.

The innovation of the CellScrew®: multiple concentric cylinders and Archimedes' Screws.

Media and gas are transferred by rotation, creating an excellent environment for the cells.

A future automated platform will allow for more scalability and live online monitoring of the cells.
