Smart MCs

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.

Also Available:

Hydrogels - Smart MCs delivers fully defined, xeno-free Extracellular Matrix Hydrogels, customisable for diverse applications like tissue modelling, spheroid generation, and wound healing. Engineered for precision and versatility, our hydrogels optimise cell growth, offering a controlled, reproducible solution for advanced biomedical applications.

Microfluidics - Smart MCs specialises in offering dedicated microfluidic solutions suitable for a wide array of applications, including cell sorting, droplet generation, liquid fractionation, scratch assays, and micro- and nano-wells. Tailored to meet various downstream needs, our microfluidic platforms streamline complex processes.

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.
