Cell encapsulation is an increasingly prominent and innovative technology that can provide solutions to complex problems within the area of biotechnology. In general, cell microencapsulation provides varying degrees of protection and isolation from their environment. It uses porous materials for the outer capsule which allow not only the diffusion of nutrients from outside to inside so that particles receive the necessary supplies for cell viability, but also permits the elimination/release of toxic and/or active substances from cell metabolism.
- Choice of particle size depending on the application, i.e. 60µm, 120 µm, 200 µm, 300 µm.
- Uniformity of particle size, with reproducible composition.
- Very gentle technology that does not compromise cell viability.
- Validity for different polymer types: alginate, cellulose, etc.
