Ingenza advances inABLE® biomanufacturing technologies in collaboration with Syngenta

Ingenza has reached a major technical milestone with Syngenta in their collaboration to develop efficient manufacturing technologies for innovative crop protection products.

Ingenza has reached a major technical milestone with Syngenta in their collaboration to develop efficient manufacturing technologies for innovative crop protection products. Ingenzas leadership in industrial biotechnology and synthetic biology has been validated by this application of key microbial gene maintenance and expression technologies which will now be further developed by Syngenta. The collaboration capitalises on Ingenzas proprietary inABLE suite of capabilities in gene expression, microbial strain improvement and bioprocess scale up.


Dr. Ian Fotheringham, Managing Director at Ingenza said "We are delighted by the results of our collaboration with Syngenta. Ingenzas innovative technologies add significant value to further support Syngentas leading position in agricultural biotechnology. Ingenza looks forward to establishing an exceptional partnership with Syngenta, working together to enhance global agriculture and food security."

Dr. Paul Oeller, Head of Technology Acquisition at Syngenta said "There are significant challenges associated with finding new technologies to feed the worlds population and we are always looking to work with external technology providers to achieve these goals. It has been a pleasure working with the Ingenza team. The collaborative and innovative culture shared between the Ingenza and Syngenta teams has made this collaboration a success. We are excited about the next phase of work to further evaluate the technology."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
