Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.
The Smart MCs X1 Microcarrier is a versatile, gelatine-based platform optimised for high-density cell culture, specifically addressing the scalability challenges within cultivated meat production. Its primary benefit is providing a highly efficient, dissolvable substrate that maximises cell expansion and simplifies downstream processing. This specialised microcarrier facilitates the transition from research and development to pilot and commercial-scale bioprocessing.
A core characteristic of the X1 platform is its exceptional customisability, allowing for the precise tuning of physical properties. The gelatine-based material offers a stiffness range from 3 kPa to 100 kPa, which can be optimised to suit diverse cell lines. Furthermore, the microcarriers are fully dissolvable using standard enzymes like TrypLE or Trypsin, which significantly streamlines the cell harvest process.
The X1 Microcarrier has been validated across a broad spectrum of cell types essential for cultivated meat and cellular therapy, including Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), Myoblasts, Fibroblasts, and HEK293T cells. This broad compatibility ensures robust performance across various species and applications. The platform’s design is focused on achieving maximum cell expansion capacity, providing a credible solution for high-yield bioprocessing.
Available in both Therapeutic and Food-Grade options, the X1 Microcarrier is manufactured with a GRAS Safe material composition, making it compatible with the stringent regulatory pathways of the cultivated meat industry. This dual-grade availability supports seamless scalability from early-stage R&D through to commercial-ready production, providing a single, optimised platform for all stages of development.

Cellag Bio is the structured intelligence layer for cultivated meat R&D — scattered published research distilled into decision-ready records: what worked, what failed, the likely cause, and what to do instead. Before committing budget to a medium, reagent, or cell line, check the evidence behind it: real experimental outcomes and failure modes, not marketing claims.
Search by media, reagent, cell line or species (e.g. "Beefy-9" or "B8") to find the records that use it.
