Nature has provided the perfect source of raw materials from which we have developed our ready to use room temperature stable products for the biomedical area.

Pulp fibres processed to nanoscale diameter can be easily modified into various forms, such as hydrogels, films and aerogels. These physical and mechanical properties have made nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) useful as a drug and cell carrier, cell scaffold and composite material. Furthermore, the potential of NFC for wound treatment applications has also been demonstrated.

Our products utilizes these unique characteristics of nanofibrillar cellulose.

Biocompatibility, high hydrophilic potential and the nanocellulose fibre scaffold provide cells with an environment that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) supporting cell growth and differentiation. High water content ensures easy diffusion of nutrients and metabolites and allows our products ton be mixed easily with cells, media or drugs.

Shear thinning properties ensures easy dispensing for HTS assays, 3D printing or injection for drug release or organ-on-a-chip models.

Controllable mechanical properties ensures that the hydrogels are suitable for a wide range of cells, tissues and applications.
