modular genetics

Modular Genetics, Inc. (Modular) uses its proprietary automated gene engineering system to create new products. Modular's unique engineering system provides a significant competitive advantage by speeding the rate of product development, reducing costs, and allowing many products to be developed simultaneously.

Modular is focused on sustainable chemistry and is a leading company in today's Industrial Biotechnology Revolution. Modular's specialty is the design and development of engineered microorganisms that synthesize chemicals using cheap renewable raw materials, like sugar. The company also develops fermentation processes, and processes for purifying biochemicals—downstream processing (DSP).

Modular is preparing for launch of its first commercial product, an acyl amino acid surfactant called AminoSurf-E, which is a drop-in replacement for cocoyl glutamate, a surfactant manufactured from palm kernel oil. AminoSurf-E is produced by fermentation of sugar. No oil of any sort is used to manufacture AminoSurf-E.
