SEMI-PERMEABLE CAPSULES

Accelerate Your Multi‑Step Molecular Analysis With Semi‑Permeable Capsules

Semi-permeable capsules (SPCs) are a breakthrough technology transforming microfluidics-based multi-step workflows. SPCs are composed of an aqueous core that is surrounded by a hydrogel shell. The shell functions like a size-selective membrane, enabling the free exchange of small reaction components while maintaining compartmentalization of single cells or large biomolecules. Made from a biocompatible polymer, SPCs can be frozen, thawed, centrifuged, and used with many harsh chemical solutions. Downstream reactions can be performed in a bulk-like manner on millions of SPCs in parallel for high-throughput molecular analysis.

EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES WITH MULTI‑STEP WORKFLOWS

Semi-Permeable Capsule compartments have an aqueous core that is surrounded by a hydrogel shell. The shell functions like a size-selective membrane and enables an unrestricted exchanges of small reaction components (e.g. enzymes, detergents, salts) while retaining large molecules, such as mRNA and genomic DNA, and cells inside the compartments. Once generated, the SPC compartments are stable under any reaction conditions thus enabling multi-step workflows.
