Opes has already sampled multiple customers utilizing serum free cell culture media in life sciences, food and nutrition applications.
"This collaboration supports our commercial objectives by extending our recombinant protein portfolio in target markets with a partner that has strong, existing sector relationships within the sectors we serve," said Joe Hazelton, President & COO of Dyadic Applied BioSolutions.
