SUMATRIX BIOTECH

Sumatrix Biotech is a mission-driven company, pioneering hydrogel-based agricultural technology for sustainable and pesticide-free vertical farming. Sumatrix Biotech developed the HydroGelPonic system as a new generation superhydrophilic hydrogel-based vertical farming technology. The HydroGelPonic system improves the sustainability of engineering, software and biotechnology and production by optimizing inputs and crop resistance, reducing operational expenses. While water is the plant's growth medium, the roots also require a soil substitute or medium for suspension. This usually consists of substrate materials, such as sponges, with which the roots of the plant can become entangled and attached to each other. We see two major problems with most substrate materials used in hydroponic farming. Some materials are prone to breaking down, contaminating the water in the hydroponic system. Even if other materials remain intact, in most cases they become non-biodegradable waste. That's why we developed our own unique substrate, Jellylose, which is an edible, superhydrophilic hydrogel produced through microbial fermentation. We add amino acid-containing nutrients to the Jellylose formula that help the seed sprout and grow into a healthy seedling. The nutrients are absorbed by the plant through Jellylose and we make it ready for harvest with the roots visible. Jellylose originates from microbial cellulose and therefore has no adverse effects on plant health, appearance, taste or texture. Its main benefit is waste reduction, which effectively decarbonizes the vertical farm. Moreover, there is no need to cut or wash the product before consumption. The HydroGelPonics system consists of Jellylose and IoT technology that provides data control. Temperature, moisture, pH, electrical conductivity and CO2 sensors collect all data and transfer it to software.
