Elevating your Bioproduction with Sophisticated Microcarrier, Hydrogels and µFluidic Solutions
Technology
Smart MCs specialise in developing customised microcarriers tailored to specific cell types and applications. Our microcarriers enable efficient and streamlined cell culture while minimising cell loss, resulting in cost-effective and high-yield expansion of cells.
Smart MCs is revolutionising the field of cellular cultivation by developing custom microcarriers made from biodegradable materials. Despite the long history of microcarrier development, the lack of customisability has remained a major challenge. Most microcarrier technologies suffer from poor harvesting performance, high cost and lengthy processing stages. Efficient microcarriers are a crucial factor for scaling in vivo adherent cell culture (e.g., cellular therapeutics and agriculture).
To overcome the limitations, Smart MCs has developed customisable microcarriers made from edible and biodegradable materials, tailored towards varied applications in terms of size, stiffness, surface roughness, texture, topography and surface chemistry.

Growth Factor Embedding: Engrave Your Growth Factor for Slow Release During Culture The ability to customise the microcarriers goes beyond physical attributes where different growth or antimicrobial factors can be embedded in the microcarriers which would act as a slow-release function throughout the culture.
Price Competitive: Owing to the revolutionary production approach, Smart MCs use basic food ingredients with a simplified production workflow that is not wasteful. Thus, the microcarriers are affordable and provide a scalable solution for large-scale applications including cultured meat.
