Our Story

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. We believe that this technology will be crucial to allow researchers and medical personnel to grow enough cells in a footprint that is economical. Whether you need cells for a stem cell treatment, to grow organs, to obtain proteins or other byproducts, etc., AlgTubes will allow for the expansion of cells to fit your needs.
