If you don’t see what you need here, let’s talk. Many more technologies for research in space are in various stages of development by Techshot.
Analytical Containment Transfer Tool (ACT2)
Great for:
- Safe doubly-contained sample transfers to orbit, from orbit, and between equipment in space
- Freezable down to -80°C
- Standard Luer connector

Advanced Space Experiment Processor (ADSEP)
Great for:
- Cell culturing—includes the only space-based rotating wall bioreactor available
- Tissue engineering
- C. elegans research
- Macromolecular crystal growth
- Bacteria research
- Protein crystal growth
- Squid research
- Your research with ~ 2,300 – 3,000 cc of volume, an empty cassette could be your blank canvas for whatever is important to you. Multiple cassettes can be processed per mission.
3D BioFabrication Facility (BFF)
- BFF is a space-based biomanufacturing platform capable of printing with live human and animal cells.
- Contains a Z-tower with multiple print heads and a bioreactor on the X-Y print stage.
- Once printed, cells are matured into tissue in ADSEP.
