Unlock more data from adherent cell assays.
Our SemaCyte® platform turns adherent cells into barcoded, assay-ready, automation-friendly reagents, enabling researchers to multiplex cell models within a single well and dramatically increase experimental throughput.
SemaCyte® microcarriers are ultra-miniaturised, barcoded micro-wells that carry small colonies of adherent cells while preserving their natural morphology. These microcarriers can be moved with standard liquid handling tools, cryopreserved in biobanks, pooled for multiplexed experiments, and decoded using optical barcodes.
By transforming adherent cells into mobile, automation-ready reagents, SemaCytes enable researchers to:
• Multiplex different cell models within a single well
• Generate assay-ready adherent cells that can be thawed and used on demand
• Reduce assay preparation time and increase throughput by up to 10×
• Integrate seamlessly with standard microplate workflows, automation, and imaging systems
Semarion is a University of Cambridge spin-out from the Cavendish Laboratory, combining materials science, microfabrication, and cell biology to remove bottlenecks in adherent cell screening.
We collaborate with leading pharmaceutical companies and technology partners to bring scalable multiplexed cell assays to laboratories worldwide.
