Non-microbial cell culture is a fundamental research tool, widely used in over 80,000 labs worldwide in research and industrial applications.
Further, cell culture is becoming increasingly important in a variety of stem cell, regenerative medicine, personalized medicine and cell therapeutic applications.
Current methods are little changed from 60+ years ago, are a major bottleneck in research and therapeutics and do not lend themselves to reproducibility, scalability, or easy implementation of GMP/GLP practices.
