Dead volume and repeated transfers can consume material that cannot be replaced.
CERAVANTABIOSYSTEMS
Ceravanta Biosystems is developing specialized research tools and single-use workflow solutions for scientists working with limited, valuable and difficult biological samples.
Patient-derived tissue, CSF, organoids, extracellular vesicles, spatial biology and single-cell analysis can make every microliter more valuable. Yet many upstream tools were designed for broader, larger-volume or more generic workflows.
Learn about our approach →Dead volume and repeated transfers can consume material that cannot be replaced.
Products built for larger-volume processing often fit research-scale work poorly.
Improvised, operator-dependent steps make workflows harder to reproduce.
Established platforms can work well individually while the steps between them remain awkward.
We are prioritizing problems that are frequent, consequential and poorly served by existing products. These concepts are starting points for discussion with researchers.
Low-dead-volume handling, transfer and recovery for limited or irreplaceable biological samples.
Research-scale concentration and recovery where existing products are too large or inefficient.
Dissociation, washing, concentration and controlled transfer for neuro-oncology research.
Accessories that reduce manual handling and improve consistency around advanced models.
Small-volume collection, stabilization, preparation and transfer solutions.
Pre- and post-isolation concentration, cleanup, transfer and workflow integration.
Purpose-built tubing, vessel, filter and connector configurations for research workflows.
Customer-defined problems that may evolve from custom concepts into repeatable products.
Ceravanta is not trying to replace major analytical platforms. We aim to solve the small-volume, interface, transfer and recovery problems that sit around them.
We want to hear about the awkward step, the improvised adapter, the transfer that loses sample, the product that only comes in the wrong size, or the workflow you wish someone would simplify.
