Our products utilize trickle-down advances from the energy, software and semi-conductor industries to create a best-in-class backup solution for life science, healthcare and biotech customers. 

In our research, we found that circuit-level interruptions were 70x more likely to impact biotech manufacturing operations, inventory, and supply chain compared to whole-facility power outages (city-wide blackouts). 

A Generac (or equivalent) is designed to support whole-facility outages and does not protect against individual circuit and equipment failure modes. Our products are designed to supplement whole-facility backup systems and ensure that individual equipment survives more common failure modes.

Do I need this if my building has a Generac or facility-level backup? 

YES! Generac systems are designed to protect against grid-level outages, outside of your facility (think major power company disruptions that will kill power to the whole region). Our products protect against more common circuit breaker trips and device-level outages caused by equipment surges and electrical issues within the suite. We recommend having both, but our solution will have you covered in all but the most catastrophic scenarios (city-wide blackouts for >1d). 

Why not use a standard "big box" UPS system? 

We designed our systems to provide high surge capacity that is common when operating compressors and other high-draw laboratory equipment, unlike UPS solutions aimed at supporting IT infrastructure. We also size our systems to support continual operations of critical laboratory equipment (+8 hours) whereas IT-focused solutions are designed for minimal runtime for safe-shutoff (10-15mins average). Finally, our systems have predictive-monitoring to notify you if your equipment is not acting normally and requires service. 

Why not use a consumer Lithium ion battery? 

The cost of an equivalent consumer battery (Bluetti, Anker, et al.) would exceed $10k, per device, and their systems do not have equivalent surge capacity, or predictive equipment failure mode analysis (FMEA). They were designed for low-draw consumer products and they do their job well (we have several at our homes!).   

In contrast, our systems have been designed to meet the exacting needs of life science equipment after extensive hands-on testing in our development laboratory. We will share the breadth of our testing in a whitepaper, in Q2.
