OUR MICROCARRIERS IN ACTION

See How Our Dissolvable Microcarriers Work

A closer look at the dissolution process, from intact microcarriers to progressive breakdown during cell harvesting.

Intact Microcarriers

Cells attached to the microcarrier surface

2 Minutes

Dissolution begins

6 Minutes

Progressive dissolution

10 Minutes

Complete dissolution, with cells ready for recovery

Accelerated Dissolution with P2 Dissolving Buffer

P2 microcarriers can be dissolved using TrypLE™ and P2 Dissolving Buffer. The P2 Dissolving Buffer is designed to accelerate the dissolution process, enabling faster microcarrier breakdown and supporting efficient cell recovery.

No Filtration Required

Dissolution removes the need to filter out microcarriers during cell harvesting, helping simplify cell recovery and reduce potential cell loss during separation.
