1.Background: |
|
CSTERM, under the research collaboration with Tokyo Women’s Medical University, set up a SSCW development team with Hosokawa Yoko Co., Ltd., one of the advancing companies in the field of packaging materials for food and medical products, and started product development of SSCW in full swing. Based on hundreds of our own test manufacturing and cell culture experiments, the development team has successfully established a reliable and low cost process for mass production in Japan. The development team has communicated and received essential support from academic researchers in multiple universities since an early stage of sample development with valuable feedback and advice based on their cooperative culture tests. Those support rendered by individuals seriously concerned to overcome any hurdles of cell culture and detachment together with us. Our vision sharing cooperative efforts enabled us to successfully launch SSCW this time overcoming various challenges and issues of product development through the difficult time of COVID-19. |
2.Sample offerings: |
|
Two types of 3.5cmΦ SSCW samples*** will be provided for free to those, who both have officially participated in the 20th General Meeting of Japan Society of Regenerative Medicine and are willing to conduct their own experiment in cell culturing by SSCW and report the result by filling our questionnaire. For those who are only interested in obtaining SSCW samples, we plan to offer at 500 yen per piece starting sometime in May. We will continue to broaden our product lineup based on various feedback from sample users. *** SSCW-E type for highly adhesive cell *** SSCW-M type for standard adhesive cell |
3.Toward Commercial Launch of SSCW: |
|
Currently, we plan to make SSCW commercially available in October this year at estimated price of 800 yen per piece. We are planning to hold virtual seminars on-line, to inform culture protocol of cell sheet for our potential users, at the time of product role out. In addition, we intend to gradually broaden our product lineup with different sizes and shapes, such as 6cm? and 10cm? or multi-well type dishes. Lastly, we are ready to initiate strategic communication with any interested parties on SSCW to formulate marketing and sales alliances globally. Please do not hesitate to contact us. |
