Fueling Tomorrow's Innovators: Solaris Biotech's First Open Day✨
Founded in 2002, Solaris Biotech by Donaldson has established itself as a leader in the biotech sector, specializing in the production of innovative solutions for the creation of vaccines, resins, biofuels, and cultivated proteins.
The event has been held in collaboration with IAAS ASA Verona, a group of talented students from the University of Verona specializing in agricultural biotechnology. These students, active members of IAAS Italia and IAAS World, embody the future of biotechnology and agricultural sciences.
The agenda of the event offered an overview of Solaris, from its history to its product portfolio. It then focused on the Filtration department.
Daria Nikolaeva, R&D manager for Bioprocessing Equipment:
“The event's agenda reflected a strong history of Solaris within bioprocessing equipment manufacturers and demonstrated its product portfolio. As part of the Donaldson brand, we also focus on providing integrated filtration solutions within its product range. We offered a comprehensive introduction on filtration basics and how it affects various sides of the business within Solaris' addressable market."
Here's a glimpse of the day's agenda:
