Elevate your assays with precision-engineered cell mimics that enhance reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Go beyond the limitations of polystyrene and biological controls.
Our cell mimics accurately replicate the characteristics and functions of real cells, are shelf-stable, and can be designed and delivered at scale, in real time, without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Surface Biomarkers
Decorate cell mimics to your specifications with cell surface and transmembrane proteins to reliably identify biomarkers across varied assays.
Fluorescence
Attach fluorophores that provide stable fluorescence signals to ensure precise measurements and enhanced reproducibility.
DNA & RNA
Embed RNA or DNA in TruCytes™ cell mimics to create robust controls for orthogonal validation of NGS, qPCR, and single-cell sequencing assays.
Granularity
Adjust cellular granularity to mimic cell types and states while maintaining uniform cell-like textures for precise results.
Size & RI
Calibrate for cell size and rigidity to assure reliable standards that enhance accuracy in cell mechanics and morphology studies.
Traditional controls come with inherent limitations—variability, low stability, and lack of adaptability. Our precision-engineered cell mimics address these challenges, offering more reliable, consistent, and customizable biomarker controls for modern cellular testing.
