Improve the Effectiveness of Your Cellular Therapies
Core-Shell Spherification
We have developed a completely new method (Core-Shell Spherification) to use superior hydrogels with much slower gelation rates compared to alginate, enabling the production of microspheres with a variety of chemical, physical, and bioactive properties.
50+ Different Formulations
There is a plethora of materials that can be used to microencapsulate cells, especially in the hydrogel category, including hyaluronic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, or polyethylene glycol. Many have characteristics similar to extracellular matrix. Others are abundant and inexpensive. These enable tailored options for each cell therapy that only we are able to deliver.
