Hydrogels
Hyaluronic Acid Methacryloyl (HAMA) is a light-curable hydrogel used in 3D cell culture, tissue engineering, and bioprinting. Derived from hyaluronic acid, it provides a biologically relevant environment that supports cell behaviour while allowing control over mechanical properties.At Smart MCs, HAMA is supplied with a compatible photoinitiator (LAP), enabling fast and reliable light-based crosslinking.For research use only. Not intended for human clinical applications.
Silk Fibroin Methacryloyl (SilkMA) is a photocrosslinkable hydrogel derived from natural silk fibroin. It combines the strength and stability of silk with the flexibility of light-based crosslinking, making it suitable for 3D cell culture, tissue engineering, and bioprinting.At Smart MCs, SilkMA is supplied with a compatible photoinitiator (LAP), enabling fast and reliable hydrogel formation under UV or visible light.For research use only. Not intended for human clinical applications.
Reagents and Consumables
A Cost-Effective Mineral Oil Alternative to Fluorinated SystemsSmart Emulsifier is a proprietary, research-grade droplet generation oil developed by Smart MCs. Engineered specifically for microfluidic applications, it provides a stable, low-cost alternative to expensive fluorinated oils while maintaining consistent monodispersity and biocompatibility in cell-based and biomaterial workflows.
Laboratory Equipment
Microfluidics
The Smart MCs Cell Harvester is a cell processing device designed for separation and recovery of cells from culture media. It operates using inertial microfluidics, where cells are guided within spiral microchannels based on their biophysical properties, enabling label-free separation from debris, dead cells, and excess liquid.
This system supports continuous processing and is suitable for applications requiring cell concentration and media reduction.
Microfluidic Device for Label-Free CTC Isolation from Blood and Biological FluidsThe 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.
