Private Company
Total funding raised: $2M
Overview
faCellitate is a private, early-revenue company providing innovative tools for 3D cell culture, a critical enabler for cell therapy and regenerative medicine research. Its core technology, BIOFLOAT™, is a defined, room-temperature-stable coating that modifies standard labware to prevent cell attachment, facilitating the easy and reproducible formation of complex cell aggregates like spheroids and organoids. The company's products are validated by top-tier research institutions and target the growing market for predictive in vitro models, positioning it as a key supplier in the preclinical research tools sector. Its business model is platform-based, selling coated consumables directly to research laboratories.
