Semarion

Semarion is a spin-out company from the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, operating at the edge of the physical and life sciences. By using microchip industry materials and techniques we are revolutionizing in vitro research on cell models to help create better medicines, faster.

Our SemaCyte® cell assaying microcarriers are flat and function as ultra-miniaturized, steerable wells to which small colonies of adherent cells are attached. We can now move and control adherent cells in liquid to accelerate, miniaturize, and multiplex cell assays. This unique approach drives 10x gains in drug screening applications such as molecular profiling, cell panel screening, or patient-derived cell work.
