3. LentiKat´s a.s. Our Vision Our Mission
To implement the ecological Lentikats Biotechnology on a global level.
Our Mission
To optimise production processes and create revolutionary and ecological production technologies that reduce the investment and operational costs.

4. LentiKat´s a.s.
The LentiKat‘s corporation was established in 2006 with the aim of commercializing Lentikats Biotechnology on a global level.
The LentiKat‘s corporation follows up on a nine year old tradition of research and development of Lentikats Biotechnology.
Our production know-how for commercial use of our Biocatalyst and for its industrial applications is patented internationally.

5. Our interests
production, implementation and supply of Lentikats Biocatalyst,
research and development of new applications,
consultations upon delivery of new production processes implementing Lentikats Biocatalyst.
We are fully prepared to cooperate with you in a joint effort to increase the efficiency of your production processes, optimize your old systems or create entirely new production processes that will save investment and operational costs while implementing a more environmentally friendly technology.

7. What is a Lentikats Biocatalyst?
Unique shape of the matrix and the original principle of immobilisation enable the encapsulation of free enzymes or microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, fungi) in a stable porous PVA (polyvinylalcohol) carrier. The carrier advantages are:
Excellent physical-mechanical characteristics that provide for
long-term mechanical stability
Low biodegradability
Zero toxicity
Lentikats Biocatalyst enables easy separation of enzymes and microorganisms from the surrounding media and therefore it can be reused multiple times.

10. Lentikats Biocatalyst
Advantages of using PVA as a matrix for encapsulation:
inexpensive, non-toxic
polymerization under optimal conditions, cell conservation
enables creation of hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties
no side effects in processes
large capacity for cell building
easily supervised processes
stable processes
easy separation from ambient media

11. How does Lentikats Biocatalyst function?
Due to its maximum surface and at the same time minimum volume of the Lentikats Biocatalyst, the diffusion limitations associated with the transport of the substrate into the lens and the product out of the lens are significantly reduced. 11
