What is Microcarrier Market?
Microcarrier is basically used to culture larger quantities of adherent cells in a fraction of the space of traditional static culture systems. They combine the advantages of traditional flask technology with those of suspension cultures. Currently, large scale expansion of cells using microcarriers may be achieved in bioreactors in a controlled environment, which allows precise control and monitoring of multiple parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. Rising use of the microcarrier in cell therapy is projected the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The market study is being classified by Type (Cationic Microcarriers, Collagen-coated Microcarriers, Protein-coated Microcarriers, Untreated Microcarriers and Others), by Application (Vaccine Manufacturing, Cell Therapy, Biologics Manufacturing and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
