Secondary Encapsulation
We have developed a manufacturing process that enables the assembly of a secondary capsule around the colanic acid coating. This secondary capsule has the purpose of holding the cells together in a pill-like shape.
We have investigated the feasibility several secondary encapsulation technologies.
