Meet Smart MCs at BIO-Europe 2026 in Cologne, Germany

Smart MCs will be represented at BIO-Europe 2026, taking place from 9–11 November 2026 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany. With the support of the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and Investment NSW, we will be joining the Australian delegation at Australia Stand #7-32, connecting with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and industry partners from around the world.

Dr Susanna Lovell will be representing Smart MCs at the event, discussing our advanced biomaterials, GMP-grade microcarriers, and microfluidic technologies for cell culture and biomanufacturing.

Connecting with the Global Biotechnology Industry at BIO-Europe 2026

BIO-Europe is one of Europe’s leading biotechnology and biopharmaceutical partnering conferences, bringing together industry professionals, investors, and researchers to establish partnerships and explore developments in the life sciences sector.

As an Australian biotechnology company specialising in biomaterials and microfluidics, Smart MCs looks forward to discussing new opportunities in cell therapy manufacturing, regenerative medicine, vaccine production, and large-scale cell culture.

Smart MCs Technologies for Cell Culture and Biomanufacturing

At BIO-Europe 2026, we welcome discussions around our three core technology areas:

Microcarriers for Large-Scale Cell Culture

Our customisable microcarriers support the attachment and expansion of adherent cells in stirred bioreactor systems. We offer synthetic and dissolvable microcarriers, including xeno-free options, with tunable stiffness, particle size, and surface properties.

Our microcarriers are designed for applications including stem cell expansion, cell therapy manufacturing, vaccine production, viral vector production, and other large-scale cell culture processes.

Hydrogels for 3D Cell Culture and Tissue Engineering

Our hydrogel portfolio includes customisable biomaterials for 3D cell culture, bioprinting, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine research.

We offer a range of formulations, including GelMA, AlgMA, HAMA, PEGDA, and animal-free hydrogel options, to accommodate different research and development requirements.

Microfluidic Technologies for Biomedical Applications

Our microfluidic technologies support applications including cell sorting, droplet generation, particle separation, and microfluidic-based cell handling, providing solutions for laboratory research and biotechnology development.

ISO 9001-Certified Manufacturing and GMP-Grade Microcarriers

Smart MCs operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System, supporting consistent manufacturing, product traceability, and quality control.

Our microcarriers are available in both research-grade and GMP-grade options, supporting customers across early-stage research, process development, and regulated biomanufacturing applications.

Our manufacturing capabilities include:

ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System with documented quality assurance and traceability.
GMP-grade microcarrier options, manufactured as ancillary materials for cell-based biomanufacturing.
ISO Class 7 cleanroom manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia.
Quality control and batch documentation, including Certificates of Analysis and relevant product testing.
Customisable microcarrier formulations to accommodate different cell types, production processes, and manufacturing requirements.

Our quality systems and manufacturing controls are aligned with GMP expectations for ancillary materials, including relevant considerations under USP <1043>.

These capabilities support biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies seeking reliable, scalable biomaterials for cell culture and biomanufacturing.
