Solution for Encapsulation of Cells in Agarose - Medical / Health Care
Agarose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide hydrogel, extracted from certain types of red seaweed. It has excellent biocompatibility, thermo-reversible gel behavior, is non-toxic and low-cost, all of which make it a versatile and popular material for life-sciences applications [1].

How to encapsulate cells in agarose beads - Video
The aim of this video is to present how to encapsulate cells in agarose beads using the Nadia Innovate platform.
Using the Nadia Innovate, we have complete control over the process of droplet formation, by changing parameters relating to the microfluidic process. These are pressure (and thereby flow rate), temperature, reservoir stirring and run duration. By altering these parameters, we can encapsulate cells in molten hydrogels to then for ex
