Stem Cell Culturing - Shrink Nanotechnologies

StemDisc™ represents a major advancement in stem cell technology. StemDisc™ is designed to improve embryoid body (EB) formation of stem cells at a higher rate and efficiency over current EB formation methods. EB formation is a prerequisite in the study of many stem cell characteristics. Because Shrink microfabricates wells with rounded or honeycomb-like characteristics, optimum EB formation can occur at a greater efficiency and with more reliable regularity. Other methods to achieve this are more expensive and/or less efficient for industry acceptable EB formation. With StemDisc™, EB variation is minimized and reproducibility is increased. StemDisc™ also allows for a multitude of applications across many currently existing microwell plate formats, thereby increasing the flexibility of use for researchers. This flexibility of use and ease of configuration creates new opportunities for Shrink to develop further the StemDisc™ as a stem cell research and development platform in conjunction with partners and customers. StemDisc™ utilizes NanoShrink™ in its fabrication.
