What are nanovials?
Nanovials are hydrogel particles that act as millions of suspendable wells for individual cells. They are made from engineered biomaterials that can be easily modified with different biomolecules such as antibodies and antigens. Nanovials are sized just larger than a cell (holding less then a nanoliter of volume) allowing single-cell isolation and improved sensitivity for biomolecule detection.
Nanovials are available commercially from Partillion Bioscience, a company co-founded by Di Carlo that started up at CNSI’s on-campus incubator, Magnify.
Dino Di Carlo is the Armond and Elena Hairapetian Professor of Engineering and Medicine at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA.
