Cascade

Nature's catalysts, built for industrial manufacturing

Cascade Bio turns enzymes into industrial-grade biocatalysts. So our partners can make almost any molecule faster, cheaper, better, cleaner.

Our biocatalysts outperform the competition in any industry.

Food. Chemicals. Waste management. Pharma. If your product starts as a molecule, there's a biological way to make it better.

How we work

Share your vision. We'll catalyze it.

Make this molecule cheaper. Make it bio-based. Hit a sustainability mandate. Get off a petroleum feedstock. Whatever your goal, we’ll figure out whether biology can get you there.

Start a Project

Design the process
Starting with your target molecule, we identify the optimal enzymatic pathway and define the catalyst requirements needed for commercial success.
Build a better biocatalyst
Using our immobilization expertise, we rapidly create and evaluate robust biocatalysts, estimating catalyst lifetime, activity, and cost to understand process economics early.
Scale with confidence
Receive ready-to-test immobilized biocatalysts that integrate into your existing lab, pilot, or manufacturing infrastructure, accelerating scale-up with minimal disruption.

What our partners are saying.

Results from the labs already running Cascade.

Karsten Eastman

CEO

Cascade has been a phenomenal team to work with, especially when I was troubleshooting experiments and addressing concerns related to the complex enzyme system I study. Their responses were always prompt, and the suggestions/support they provided were incredibly helpful.

Yuliana Mihaylova

CEO

The Cascade team has been very helpful and responsive during our enzyme immobilization tests. Our preliminary experiments already show improved catalytic activity for our trickiest enzyme using Cascade's products and we look forward to improving this further with the team's help!

Jonathan Wagner

Founder

We appreciate the quality products that Cascade Bio produces for us. Their materials have immobilized some of our enzymes with exceptionally well preserved activity and stability. Their expert support and convenient kits make immobilization testing straightforward.

We've enjoyed collaborating with Cascade over the last couple of years, as their immobilization technology and our engineered enzymes for cofactor regeneration have the potential to transform cell-free biomanufacturing.
