Business model:
ChiralVision develops biocatalysis based technologies and solutions. We can help you to develop new and proprietary solutions in various markets, or take your existing technology and develop a scalable process.
We are a supplier of off-shelf (immobilized) enzymes, enzyme carriers, chiral molecules, custom products, technology subcontractor or collaborator in a joint development effort.
