Smart MCs Smart Emulsifier is an optimised droplet generation oil, engineered to overcome the high cost and instability associated with traditional microfluidic surfactants. It is essential for the precise, monodispersed encapsulation of cells, a critical step in advanced cultivated meat production. This ready-to-use solution ensures droplet integrity and prevents merging, thereby supporting high-throughput, reliable cell culture workflows.
This specialised formulation, based on a high-purity mineral oil matrix, provides performance validated to match more expensive fluorinated alternatives, offering a significant economic advantage. Its unique composition is biocompatible and cell-friendly, ensuring minimal impact on sensitive mammalian and fish cell lines used in cultivated meat systems.
The emulsifier has been validated across a broad spectrum of applications, including hydrogel droplet formation and microsphere generation, which are vital for creating tuneable 3D cell culture environments. Its ability to maintain monodispersed droplets is crucial for accurate single-cell analysis and high-throughput screening of media formulations, accelerating the development of commercial-ready processes.
Available in a research-grade format, Smart Emulsifier is designed for seamless integration into existing microfluidic platforms, supporting the transition from initial R&D to pilot-scale studies. While mineral oil-based, its compatibility with animal-origin-free and chemically defined media makes it a strategic choice for developing scalable, food-grade compliant cultivated meat processes.
