Legal

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.

Smart MCs Alginate Methacryloyl (AlgMA) is a specialised, animal-origin-free biomaterial for creating scalable, defined 3D cell culture environments in cultivated meat production. This modified polysaccharide forms a robust hydrogel scaffold, providing the necessary mechanical and chemical cues to support high-density proliferation and differentiation of mammalian cell lines. The light-curing mechanism ensures superior internal uniformity and cell viability, optimising biomass generation efficiency.

The key differentiator of AlgMA is its innovative light-based cross-linking, allowing for precise control over the polymerisation process using a photoinitiator. This method yields a highly uniform, xeno-free hydrogel matrix. The material composition includes active chemical sites, making it compatible with further customisation, such as incorporating specific peptides or other hydrogel combinations.

This versatile biomaterial has been validated across applications including cell culture, 3D bioprinting, and tissue engineering, demonstrating broad compatibility with numerous mammalian cell types, including muscle and fat progenitors. The hydrogel's properties are highly tuneable, allowing researchers to customise stiffness and porosity to closely mimic the native extracellular matrix, a critical factor for cell function and morphology.

As a research-grade material, AlgMA is perfectly suited for initial R&D and pilot-scale studies in cultivated meat development. Its compatibility with established bioprocessing systems and its tuneable nature provide a clear pathway for scalability from laboratory bench to commercial-ready production. A Certificate of Analysis is provided, ensuring quality and consistency.
