Likarda CSS® Feasibility StudyCustom Encapsulation. Clear Results. Smarter First Steps.
Whether you’re developing a biologic, peptide, or cell therapy, Likarda’s Core Shell Spherification® (CSS®) Feasibility Study is your gateway to validating a smarter drug delivery strategy. Designed for speed, flexibility, and scientific rigor, this program helps you explore the compatibility of your product with our customizable hydrogel platform, without long-term commitment.

In 6–8 weeks, we partner with your team to design and test customized encapsulation solutions tailored to the specific goals of your molecule or product, through:
- Tailored Project PlanA dedicated program lead will work with your team to define goals, testing plans, and comparators aligned with your product needs.
- Customized Hydrogel FormulationWe select or design hydrogel formulations based on the unique properties of your molecule or cell therapy, optimizing for viability, release kinetics, function, or stability.
- Progress Meetings and Final ReportRegular updates keep your team informed, and a comprehensive summary captures results, learnings, and recommended next steps.
- Optimizing for Scale and Clinical ReadinessRefining encapsulation conditions, adjusting hydrogel characteristics, or scaling the protocol for manufacturing compatibility. This flexible, data-driven model ensures the solution is not just feasible—but fully optimized for your goals.
- Licensing DiscussionsIf successful, we offer flexible licensing options for hydrogel use, process integration, or exclusive applications.
- Manufacturing OptionsWe support multiple paths forward—whether you continue with a CDMO, acquire our CSS equipment, or work with us through scale-up.
Let’s unlock what’s possible, together.Feasibility Questionnaire
The purpose of this questionnaire is to help our technical team better your product and delivery and encapsulation expectations. This questionnaire is intended to help us better understand your program goals, formulation challenges, and what success looks like for your therapeutic. Based on your responses, we will follow up with a tailored study plan and technical discussion.
