Osmolyte-based Cryopreservation Technology

Beaker

SAFE AND NATURALLY-OCCURING

Osmolytes are safe naturally-occurring sugars, sugar alcohols and amino acids

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Organic compounds that work together to stabilize and protect the integrity of cells during cryopreservation

OPTIMIZED FOR EACH CELL

Proprietary algorithm optimizes cryoprotectant formulation to support different cell types

DMSO damages cells, causes high cell losses during manufacturing, and is harmful to patients.

  • Patients infused with cell therapeutics that contain DMSO experience adverse reactions from nausea to cardiac toxicity.
  • Cell exposure to DMSO for extended periods of time during manufacturing results in significant cell loss.
  • Immune cell therapeutic efficacy is reduced post thawing.

How do trees survive Minnesota winters?

The answer to that question helped us develop a novel strategy of preserving cells.

DISRUPTIVE CRYOPRESERVATION TECHNOLOGY

After 30 years of sub-standard one-size-fits-all cryopreservation technology, the industry is about to change.
