AimGel Technology
Do more with less steps
Self-degradable via Hydrolysis
Our AimGel artificial cells are hydrogel-based, meaning they can degrade naturally after expansion, eliminating the need for debeading steps. They are chemically defined and animal-free, ensuring greater peace of mind.
Higher T cell activation
AimGel artificial cells display activation signals on a fluid membrane, mimicking the immunological synapse and delivering outstanding efficiency and cell quality.
Biomimectic approach for immune cell expansion and activation
Lipid Membrane Coating
A fluid lipid coating mimicking the cell membrane enables cell-like interactions.
Hydrogel Core
A hydrogel core with variable size and softness to mimic the texture of real cells.
Surface Signals
Mix and match the required combinations of surface signals optimised for your cell type.
