Hydrogels
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.
- One-step, room-temperature gelation
- Animal-free formulation
- Tunable stiffness and bioactivity
Reagents and Consumables
High-Quality Microbeads and Magnetic Beads (20 nm – 1000 µm)Monodisperse Microspheres are precision-engineered microbeads designed for cell separation, biological research, diagnostics, and particle filtration. Available in both standard and magnetic bead formats, these particles provide highly controlled size distribution for reproducible and reliable experimental outcomes.Our microbeads are available in a wide size range from 20 nm to 1000 µm, with options for functionalised (e.g., antibody-coated) or non-functionalised surfaces to suit diverse laboratory applications.
Laboratory Equipment
Microfluidics
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.
Smart MCs provides organ-on-a-chip (OoC) devices designed to model tissue microenvironments using microfluidic systems. These lab-on-a-chip platforms enable controlled fluid flow, cell–cell interactions, and integration with extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels for in vitro studies.
Organ-on-a-chip devices are used to study physiological responses, disease mechanisms, and interactions with pharmaceutical compounds under controlled conditions.
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.
Smart MCs provides micron-particle sorting devices based on inertial microfluidics for size-based separation of particles and cells. These systems use spiral microchannels to focus and separate particles according to their size and biophysical properties under continuous flow conditions.
The devices are suitable for sorting particles ranging from approximately 3 µm to over 100 µm, supporting a wide range of biological and research applications.
Smart MCs provides microfluidic systems for pathogen purification based on inertial microfluidics. These devices enable size-based separation of microorganisms, cells, and debris from biological samples under continuous flow conditions.
The system is designed to support purification of complex samples from human, animal, and environmental sources, reducing unwanted components such as debris and background cells.
Smart MCs provides micromixers designed for efficient mixing of fluids at the microscale. These microfluidic devices enable rapid and controlled mixing under laminar flow conditions, improving reaction efficiency and reproducibility in biological and chemical applications.
Micromixers are suitable for handling small volumes, supporting precise reagent mixing in research and process development.
