Edible, plant-based, animal component-free, and fully-customizable 3D structures for your products.

We manufacture edible, plant-based, 100% animal component-free, and fully-customizable 3D structures for your products that provide a comprehensive solution for building biomass, generating structure, adding and supporting differentiation, adding nutrients, and controlling cell growth through time-triggered growth factor release.

Unlike our competitors, we exclusively use 100% animal component-free and food-safe ingredients in our microcarriers and scaffolds.

Our microcarriers, can also add taste, texture or nutrients to your product after cell culture.

Our microcarriers can be customized to the following parameters:

Structure - Fibrous or Beadlike
Size - 100 μm-800μm
Material - We work with a wide variety of plant-based, core materials.
Surface modifications - We have an array of different bioactive and surface activation methods to enhance cell adhesion and guide cell behavior.

Furthermore, our microcarriers can be introduced into down-stream processes such as differentiation scaffolding and 3D printing without removal of the cells.

Our scaffolds and coatings are animal component-free and customizable to mimic muscle structure.

This creates meat texture, supports differentiation, and provides mechanical and chemical cues to control cell behavior.

Our plant-based scaffolds for meat scaffolds are:

Edible and food-safe
Designed with a controlled structure and texture (aligned or random fibers; stiffness) to accommodate cell adhesion and mimic meat texture
Designed for a customizable nutrient profile
Adaptable for use in downstream processes
Customizable via surface modifications and bioactive molecules to support cell adhesion and differentiation
Designed with nanofibers (700 nm-15 um)
Designed with microfibers (100 and up)

Our synthetic scaffolds for milk companies:

Supports cell attachment for diverse cell lines
Can be customized for time-triggered release for bioactive molecules to the dermal surface of the cells
Has controlled 3D structure (aligned or randomized fiber orientation)
Can be customized for mechanical properties (stiffness modulus)
