At Likarda, we’re continually pushing the boundaries of innovation to overcome the logistical challenges of cell therapy delivery. Two standout results of this innovation are AegisCell™ and LiberaCell™. AegisCell™ has remarkable potential to protect cells when they must be frozen for storage. In one of our success stories, fresh blood products stored in AegisCell™ on a cooled gel pack maintained high viability for three weeks—something previously unattainable without this advanced encapsulant. This technology not only extends the shelf life of vital cells but also simplifies storage and transport, making the process safer and more cost-effective. LiberaCell™ further enhances logistics by enabling cells to be shipped on dry ice instead of liquid nitrogen, protecting them from ice crystals during the freeze-thaw process. Both hydrogels start with materials familiar to the FDA that can be customized for all cell types, ensuring safety and flexibility in cell therapy logistics. Talk to us to discover how much you can save by using Likarda and eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen in your shipments at Likarda.com. #celltherapy #celldelivery #biotech #cryopreservation

About us
Likarda is a biotech company developing enabling technologies to transform the way cell therapies are delivered and optimized. Our revolutionary method to coat cells with stealth hydrogels, called Core Shell Spherification® (CSS), protects cells from destruction, keeping them viable while maintaining them in the intended location within the body. Unlike our competitors, Likarda has developed a library of over 50 different hydrogel formulations that work with Core Shell Spherification®, resulting in the ability to uniquely tailor the coating molecules to the specific requirements of the therapeutic cells themselves. From durable and long-term coatings to degradable coatings that deliver cells over days, weeks, or months, we can create exclusive hydrogel formulations tailored for each therapeutic application. Likarda is the remarkable culmination of visionary leadership, science that is just as artistic as academic, and a compelling urge to do what’s right. As we move forward, we have well-defined, long-range goals with added opportunities for flexibility and growth.
