What are lipid-based microbubbles, and how do they work?

Our microbubbles are tiny, lipid-based structures designed to selectively bind and isolate target cells. They leverage surface chemistry to attach to specific markers, enabling efficient cell selection and activation without the need for beads or columns.

How do microbubbles differ from traditional bead-based or column-based methods?

Unlike bead or column systems, microbubbles provide a gentle, bead-free, and column-free approach. This reduces mechanical stress on cells, simplifies research workflows, and eliminates the need for magnetic or filtration equipment.

What makes your technology gentle compared to other cell separation techniques?

Microbubbles minimize shear forces and avoid harsh physical constraints, preserving cell integrity and viability. This is critical for sensitive cell types used in cell therapy research.

How are microbubbles used in cell therapy research workflows?

They can be integrated into steps such as cell selection, activation, and enrichment. Their flexibility allows seamless incorporation into existing research processes.

Can microbubbles be applied to both cell selection and activation?

Yes. Our technology supports dual functionality—enabling precise selection of target cells and activation signals when needed.

Are microbubbles compatible with different cell types or therapies?

Yes, they are designed for versatility and can be adapted to select for T cells, NK cells, HSC cells, and other immune cell populations and subpopulations commonly used in cell therapy research.

What are the advantages of bead-free and column-free cell selection?

This approach reduces process complexity, eliminates costly consumables, and avoids residual selection beads in the final research product. This can reduce the analytical burden associated with demonstrating removal of selection reagents and streamline research workflows.

How does your technology improve consistency and performance in cell processing?

Microbubbles deliver reproducible results, ensuring high yield, purity and viability.

Does using microbubbles reduce processing time or complexity?

Yes. By removing steps associated with magnetic separation or filtration, microbubbles streamline research workflows and shorten processing times.
