For decades, the ability to switch the phase of a material, tune its toughness, or reprogram how it interacts with cells seemed like science fiction. These kinds of dynamic changes were outside the reach of engineers and biologists alike.

With our dynamic crosslinking technology, this “magic” becomes reality. By simply mixing liquids, researchers get materials which are:

1. Programmable properties can be tuned precisely by sequence design. Shift the material from liquid to gel, and liquid, by command. Just like magic! 

2. Dynamic – stiffness, plasticity, or phase behavior can be adjusted in real time. Adjust stiffness and plasticity on command, even with cells around.

3. Versatile – the same principle powers breakthroughs in cell culture, 3D bioprinting, and biomolecule isolation. Trigger selective and specific interactions with molecules or cells.

All of this happens under simple lab conditions — no exotic tools, no hidden tricks, can be performed by anybody. What once felt impossible is now a practical toolkit for scientists working in 3D cell culture, diagnostics, sequencing, omics and beyond. 

The developments have evolved into two technologies, targeting different use-cases.
