ds to extract oil for research purposes. Since no existing device was satisfactory, a group of researchers from INRA, CNRS and AgroParisTech teamed with an engineering office specialized in the automotive industry to develop of a new press concept (study and prototype funded by LABEX SPS and 3BCAR) ).
A second prototype financed by the Paris-Saclay IDEX through a pre-maturation project, fully validated the concept that now allows extracting oil from as little as 100 mg of seeds (rapeseed or arabidopsis or even a single soybean seed) but also micro-algae or yeasts.
This pre-maturation project has led to a patent.
