Our device is engineered to transcend traditional cell processing, offering a label-free, high-throughput solution for a myriad of applications. It's perfect for integrating with perfusion bioreactor systems, dramatically simplifying the cell harvesting process. Additionally, it serves as an essential tool for reducing sample volumes, facilitating easier and less stressful centrifugation. Beyond these applications, it offers a passive approach that allows for the effortless exchange of media in ongoing cultures, ensuring cells remain nourished without interruption. This device is the key to efficient, gentle, and continuous cell processing.
Alginate Methacryloyl (AlgMA) is a modified form of sodium alginate that is designed to solidify into a gel when exposed to UV or visible light, using a photoinitiator. This innovative light-curing method offers superior portability and produces gels with excellent internal uniformity compared to traditional methods that use divalent ions such as calcium. The resulting AlgMA hydrogel features a three-dimensional structure that is conducive to cell growth and differentiation, and contains active chemical sites for further reactions. This hydrogel is particularly valuable in various biomedical applications.
