faCellitate develops polymeric coatings that modify labware surfaces to create inert, cell-repellent environments for advanced cell culture. Their BIOFLOAT™ technology enables the reproducible formation of consistent spheroids and organoids for 3D cell culture applications. The company also offers BIOINSTRUCT™ coatings optimized for defined, xeno-free stem cell expansion.

Problem
Traditional cell culture methods often involve animal-derived components and undefined matrices, leading to variability and non-specific interactions that compromise experimental reproducibility, especially in 3D cell culture, drug discovery, and stem cell research. These inconsistencies hinder the formation of uniform spheroids and can skew experimental outcomes.
Solution
faCellitate provides chemically defined, animal- and xeno-free polymer coatings designed to enhance the biocompatibility of surfaces used in cell culture. Their BIOFLOAT™ technology creates an inert, ultra-low attachment surface that minimizes non-specific protein and cell interactions, promoting the reproducible formation of spheroids with well-defined geometry and high consistency. The coatings can be applied to various labware, including multi-well plates, allowing researchers to create a fully synthetic, biologically relevant cell culture matrix. faCellitate's solutions facilitate customized cell culture for 3D cell culture, drug discovery, toxicology studies, and stem cell research.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers in cell biology, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine who require consistent and reliable cell culture surfaces for 3D cell culture, spheroid formation, and high-throughput screening.
