Alginate Bead Generation Pack

[O-SE-ALG-PCK]

    A system for producing monodisperse alginate beads

    The Fluigent Alginate bead generation pack is a robust and complete system for producing outstanding monodispersed Alginates beads.  The generation pack is flexible, allowing the alginate beads to change particle sizes in hundreds of milliseconds without interrupting the production.

    The generation pack is powered by Fluigent’s LineUP microfluidic pumps and the RayDrop device, a breakthrough technology for high-quality particles and beads production.

    Alginate microbeads are used in a wide range of therapeutic applications including encapsulation, therapeutics delivery, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and in vitro cell culture. Some of the striking characteristics of alginate beads are their biocompatible nature, easy gelation and availability of open functional groups with ease of manipulation to synthesize alginate derivatives with advanced desirable properties. Alginate microbeads are recommended due to their nontoxicity and biodegradability, and also because they are formed from naturally occurring polysaccharides and can be made from a rapid preparation method.

    The application note demonstrates that alginate beads can be successfully produced using our setup with precise control of droplet size.

    Moreover, it’s possible to use different concentrations of alginate due to the great flexibility of our system, which allows users to change the nozzle in case of working with high viscosity liquids. Changing capillary size can be easily done by the user to target different droplet sizes.

    Due to the precision and versatility of the Alginate bead generation pack, it’s possible to produce particles for various biological applications: encapsulation, drug delivery, stem cell culture, and tissue engineering scaffolds.
