Hydrogels

  • Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) is a widely used hydrogel for 3D cell culture, tissue engineering, and bioprinting. It combines the biological properties of gelatin with the control of a crosslinkable material, supporting cell attachment, growth, and organisation. At Smart MCs, we supply GelMA in three variants (GM-30, GM-60, GM-90), giving researchers flexibility to match different applications and mechanical requirements.Each kit includes methacrylated gelatin and a compatible photoinitiator (LAP), allowing fast and reliable light-based crosslinking.For research use only. Not intended for human clinical applications.
     
  • G1 Hydrogel is an animal-free hydrogel designed for simple, room-temperature operation. It forms a stable gel instantly upon the addition of cell culture media, making it ideal for cell culture, tissue engineering, and biomedical research.

    Custom modifications are available upon request, including peptide functionalisation and composite hydrogel systems.

Reagents and Consumables

  • Reliable Non-Adherent Surface Coating for Suspension, Microcarrier, and 3D Cell Culture Systems

    Smart MCs’ Non-Adherent Coating is a high-performance, research-grade solution designed to create uniform ultra-low attachment (ULA) surfaces on standard laboratory plasticware and glassware. It effectively prevents non-specific cell adhesion, ensuring cells remain in suspension or selectively attach to intended substrates such as microcarriers.Optimised for modern cell culture workflows, this coating improves experimental reproducibility, enhances cell distribution, and supports scalable microcarrier-based systems. 

Microfluidics

  • Microfluidic Device for Label-Free CTC Isolation from Blood and Biological Fluids
     

    The Smart MCs Cell Sorting Device is a microfluidic platform designed for label-free isolation of circulating tumour cells (CTCs), including both single cells and clusters, from biological samples.

    Using size-based inertial microfluidics, the device enables separation of larger CTCs from smaller blood cells without the need for antibodies or surface markers, supporting downstream analysis while preserving cellular characteristics. 
  • Microfluidic Chips for Single-Cell Analysis, PCR, and Particle Formation
     

    Smart MCs provides droplet microfluidic devices designed for precise generation and manipulation of water-in-oil droplets. These lab-on-a-chip systems enable controlled handling of picolitre volumes, supporting high-throughput experiments with reduced reagent consumption.

    Devices are available for droplet generation in the range of ~30 µm to 200 µm (and beyond), depending on chip design and operating conditions.
