Skroot Laboratory

Skroot Laboratory is a private biotechnology tools company based in Ames, Iowa that develops non-invasive sensor systems for real-time monitoring of cell cultures in closed vessels. Its core offering is the SMART Platform, a contact-free, single-use resonant sensing system designed to measure parameters such as cell growth, foaming, and temperature without manual sampling. The company focuses on enabling scaled biomanufacturing and improving upstream development workflows for biologics, cell therapy, gene therapy, and protein therapy manufacturing. Skroot appears to operate as a life science tools and process analytical technology company rather than as a therapeutic drug developer. Its products are positioned to reduce contamination risk, support process development, and improve efficiency in biomanufacturing environments.
