Visit WebsiteAcross pharma, academia, and industry, there is a need for microbial testing solutions that deliver rapid and reliable results, even for complex sample matrices, without disruptive or cumbersome sample preparation.
Based on biocalorimetry technology that detects metabolic heat, the Symcel calScreener® systems enable direct product inoculation with rapid detection of living microorganisms across diverse sample types. Beyond time to detection, the systems generate continuous metabolic heat curves that support deeper product understanding, revealing effects not captured by standard growth assays.
Collaboration is part of Symcel’s heritage. The company partners with leading academic institutions, therapy developers, hospitals, and industrial organizations across life science, clinical, consumer goods, and food applications.
Symcel is headquartered at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden with offices also in Boston and Copenhagen. To find out more, please visit symcel.com
