Our Mission

Combining cell biology, mathematical modeling and engineering principles to create innovative solutions to cell manufacturing.

Fewer Passages

Reduce the number of passages with our AlgTube technology that allows for up to a 500x fold increase without passaging.

Smaller Footprint for Cell Culture

Decrease the size of your bioreactor with AlgTubes that have a cell density of up to 0.5 Billion

Scale Up & Out

Use our compact platforms to focus on Allogenic or Autogenic applications

Extrusion System

Our patent pending extruders work by flowing Alginate, Cells, and Calcium Chloride into the extruder. The extruders allow the production of a single tube or multiple tubes simultaneously with your cells inside. These hollow tubes allow an isolated space for your cells to expand in, while being able to provide transport of nutrients into and byproducts out of the tubes. Our single channel extruder will perfectly suffice for research experiments, while our multi-channel extruders will allow you to create massive amounts of cells in a small volume.

Bioreactor

Our bioreactors are designed specifically with AlgTubes in mind. We use an airlift design to maximize oxygen transport for the cells while providing agitation inside the vessel to keep well mixed conditions. The Temperature, pH, DO, Glucose and Lactate Concentration are controlled in a non-invasive manner to avoid Algtube damage. With the AlgTubes having a high cell density, it is possible to take 1mL seeded at 1 million cells/mL and get up to 500 million cells in just one passage.

Our Team

Dr Yuguo Lei and Dr Hendrik Viljoen decided to start CellGro Technologies to bring a valuable technology to market. The technology bears an analogy to the transistor – it enables a significant reduction in the footprint of cell manufacture, and multiple functions (i.e., cell manipulations), can be integrated into a single processing unit.
