AmCyte's proprietary encapsulation technology is based on a novel alginate polymer and poly-L-lysine membrane configuration, in which the cells are encased in immunoprotective capsules. Protected by 16 issued patents, the technology has been refined by extensive know-how in material selection and process optimisation. The capsule system allows small molecules and peptides produced by the encapsulated cells to transfer out of the capsule; allows nutrients to pass through the capsule to reach the cells; preserves cell function; is formulated to be biocompatible without immune suppression of the patient, and can be transplanted under a straightforward surgical procedure and be readily retrieved.
