LB-Platform™ Technology

The “Delivered State” Problem

Why Existing Bacterial Products (BP) Underperform

Traditional BP Design Approach

Traditionally, bacterial products have been designed around three parameters: strain(s), CFU dosage, and final product form. This mechanistic focus is insufficient – it results in most probiotic products delivering low-survival, passive, plank-tonic form bacteria into gut lumen, with a high (99%+) washout rate within days

The "Delivered State" Problem

The result is the "delivered state" problem: the few surviving bacteria transit through hosts' lumen in dormant, suboptimal functional states, causing low product effectiveness and performance inconsistency. Rather, bacterial products must deliver function-optimised microbial communities pre-adapted to integrate

LB-Platform™ Solution

Imbiome's LB-Platform™ solution unlocks microbial evolutionary intelligence mechanisms to activate two critical efficacy drivers of bacterial products: Bioactivity - microorganisms' ability to integrate into mucosal layer, and Functional State - state of functional gene expression & communal behaviours

LB-Platform™ Solution

Three innovations. One Platform. Real performance.

Imbiome’s technology pre-adapts and conditions microorganisms to activate microbial evolutionary intelligence — optimising bacterial delivery for performance through (i) mucosal lining integration and (ii) communal functional expression, resulting in faster, more consistent, improved clinical effectiveness. Built on years of validated bacterial physiology & clinical research, LB-Platform™ technology is rooted in three proprietary innovations: 

Physiology-Centric Growth

We grow microbes in controlled environments — pre-adapting them to survive real-world biological and environmental stressors, and priming micro-organisms to integrate and function as native colonies

Structural Nanomatrix Activation

We stimulate key microbial pathways by engaging bacteria with a proprietary nanomatrix — pre-conditioning them for colonisation and functional gene expression needed to form native, integrated microbial communities

SmartBatch™ Fermentation

High product efficacy results in lower required doses and a lean manufacturing infrastructure – Smart Batch™ Fermentation enables precision-controlled,  small-lot manufacturing, with optimal resource use & scalability 

LB-Platform™ — a bacterial delivery and functional state optimisation platform technology that produces bioactive, colonisation-ready, and functionally optimised microbes, creating a new category of IP-defensible bacterial products with unmatched performance and breakthrough production economics – across human,
animal, 
and soil health
