Over 90% harvesting efficiency and viability

IamFluidics, a leader in microparticle innovation and Rousselot, a Darling Ingredients’ premier collagen and gelatin brand, have partnered to change the game!

Conventional non-dissolvable microcarriers have poor harvesting efficiency with up to 50% cell loss due to inefficient cell detachment, difficulties with separation the cells from the microcarriers, as well as cell death during the harsh procedures necessary to increase harvesting yield.

Soluble microcarriers offer an elegant solution to this end by enabling facile detachment of cells by literally dissolving the microcarrier during the cell harvesting process. However, state-of-the art dissolvable microcarriers on the market require specialized enzymes for detachment, adding complexity and regulatory hurdles to the cell harvesting process.

IamFluidics and Rousselot offer a game-changing alternative that simplifies cell harvesting. The novel Dissolvable Microcarriers offer a significant advantage by dissolving efficiently with commonly used reagents, eliminating the need for additional processing steps and reducing regulatory concerns associated with introducing non-standard enzymes into the workflow.

The new Dissolvable Microcarriers dissolve effortlessly using standard cell culture components, enabling highly efficient cell harvesting by dissolving the microcarriers in just 15 minutes! With >90% hMSC recovery, even after 7 days of culture in spinner flasks, these microcarriers support scalable and efficient cell expansion.
