About TideTron

Tichuang Bio (also known as Tidetron Bioworks Technology Co., Ltd.) is a synthetic biology company founded in 2021 by Dr. Zhiqian Zhang. The company operates a biomanufacturing platform for the mass production of a wide range of substances. It has developed the Tidetron Altra platform, which includes a proprietary strain and component library, along with the iTidetron AI engine, to streamline the research, development, and production cycle.

The company's business model is centered on providing integrated solutions, from research and development to large-scale manufacturing, for various industries. Tichuang Bio serves clients in sectors such as skin care, food and beverage, household cleaning, and biomedicine. Revenue is generated through the sale of over 30 existing raw materials, including peptides and erythritol, and by offering customized production services. The firm operates an intelligent factory in Jinan, Shandong Province, with an annual production capacity exceeding 10,000 tons, utilizing advanced fermentation and purification technologies.

A key focus for the company is sustainable and environmentally friendly production. Its processes are designed for low energy consumption, reduced pollution, and low carbon emissions. For instance, their bio-peptide production process reportedly reduces emissions by up to 95%. The company also engages in developing biodegradable materials, such as all-bio-based Polybutylene Succinate (PBS), to support plastic reduction goals. Tichuang Bio collaborates with academic institutions like Sun Yat-sen University and Jiangnan University to further the integration of industry, academia, and research in synthetic biology.
