P1 synthetic microcarriers are microcarriers for cell culture designed to support the expansion of adherent cells, including more demanding cell types. Made from a fully defined synthetic polymer, P1 provides a controlled and consistent surface for cell attachment.
These microcarriers are not dissolvable and are suited to processes where stable, non-degradable carriers are required. P1 can be tailored in stiffness, size, and surface properties depending on application needs.
P1 synthetic microcarriers have been evaluated in adherent cell culture using HEK293T cells across both static and bioreactor conditions.
P1 provides a stable, non-dissolvable microcarrier platform for processes where controlled surface properties and standard cell harvesting workflows are preferred.
P1 microcarriers are used in microcarrier-based cell culture where strong cell attachment and surface control are required. The positively charged surface supports adhesion of a range of cell types, including those that are more difficult to culture.
As a non-dissolvable platform, P1 remains stable throughout the culture process and can be removed using standard separation methods. The surface can also be modified or coated by the user to match specific process requirements.
