Rare Carbohydrates. Advanced Building Blocks. Innovative Chemistry.
The zuCarb™ platform provides access to rare and difficult-to-obtain carbohydrates, glycochemicals, and specialty intermediates for research, product development, and commercial applications. By combining biocatalysis, enzyme engineering, synthetic chemistry, and innovative manufacturing technologies, Midwest Bioprocessing Center is expanding access to carbohydrate molecules that have traditionally been unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
Whether you’re advancing glycoscience research, developing a new therapeutic, engineering a bioprocess, or creating the next generation of specialty ingredients, zuCarb™ products provide the building blocks needed to accelerate innovation.

Carbohydrates play essential roles throughout biology, yet many important sugar building blocks remain difficult to synthesize or simply unavailable commercially.
The zuCarb™ technology platform was developed to change that. Our expertise in glycochemistry, biocatalysis, enzyme engineering, and process development enables efficient production of complex carbohydrate molecules while providing a pathway toward scalable manufacturing when commercial opportunities emerge.
zuCarb™ products support innovation across a wide range of scientific, commercial, and industrial applications.

Not every project begins with an off-the-shelf product. MBC works with companies and research organizations to develop custom glycochemicals, new manufacturing processes, and innovative carbohydrate technologies.
