Production of uniform populations of gel microbeads

A chelate free process for generating highly uniform cohorts of ionotropic gel microbeads with a user-controllable average size. For use in high-tech biomedical sciences such as single cell encapsulation, human erythrocyte substitute and alginate based prodrug delivery

Uniqueness:

Immobilization of biological compounds:

• uniform gel microbeads
• Size control in the range of 6 – 100 micrometer
• No chelators present in the product
• Allows for significantly increased efficiency of single cell screening
