Food-grade, 100% animal-free, nanofibrous microcarriers for scalable cultured meat production.
Description
Gelatex Potato Microspheres are nanofibrous microcarriers that give adherent cells additional surface area in the bioreactors and support their more efficient proliferation and cell density increase. These microcarriers are manufacturing using only food-grade ingredients.
Features
- 3D structure that mimics natural ECM.
- Works with many cell lines.
- Automated scalable production.
