We offer tightly scoped feasibility pilots to evaluate whether engineered ice-binding proteins can improve performance in your specific freeze-thaw workflow, before you commit to larger development programmes.
The pilot is designed to tell you whether the ice-binding protein approach is worth advancing in your workflow — not to lock you into a broad platform commitment too early.
Each pilot is structured to generate practical data under relevant conditions, without requiring long-term platform lock-in or open-ended exploratory work.
We move from workflow definition to candidate evaluation through a contained sequence designed to reduce uncertainty while keeping scope aligned to a real preservation problem.
We define the exact failure point in your workflow, the biological material involved, and the performance endpoints that matter technically and commercially.
Before wet-lab work begins, Cryo-Dock is used to model protein–ice interactions and support candidate prioritisation, reducing wasted effort and unnecessary experimental breadth.
Selected candidates are produced and tested in the context of your specific system and relevant freeze-thaw conditions.
The pilot concludes with a grounded recommendation on whether the approach merits further development, optimisation, or discontinuation.
Indicative range depending on workflow complexity, assay requirements, and testing scope.
Commercial-first evaluation, not open-ended academic exploration.
The pilot model is designed to make a complex cryobiology proposition easier to evaluate internally, while still producing output that is technically meaningful.
A clearly defined engagement is easier for technical and commercial teams to assess than a broad platform proposal requiring a large upfront commitment.
Digital prioritisation through Cryo-Dock helps focus wet-lab work around candidates most likely to justify experimental attention.
The purpose is not simply to generate data, but to support a better technical and commercial decision about what happens next.
Cryobiology is a complex set of variables, and many organisations hesitate to adopt new preservation approaches because the perceived risk of workflow disruption is too high.
The feasibility pilot is designed to lower that barrier. By isolating a defined preservation problem and evaluating interfacial ice control within a contained parameter space, technical teams can assess real-world relevance before broader internal approval is required.
Broad platform promise, unclear entry point, limited workflow specificity, and a high burden of internal justification before any evidence exists.
Defined scope, real workflow relevance, contained budget, and decision-grade evidence that can support or disqualify further work quickly.

We will provide an honest view on whether a feasibility pilot is likely to be a sensible next step for your specific workflow.
