Upkara is developing technology designed to radically reshape how companies preserve biological products.
Until now, the distribution and storage of temperature-sensitive biomolecules have relied on lyophilization (freeze drying) and cold storage. Lyophilization facilities, freezers, and temperature-controlled transportation requirements all hinder the speed of scientific work.
With Upkara’s technology, the need for cold storage is eliminated.
Using a proprietary form of capillary evaporation, we can preserve a wide range of biomolecules without lyophilization to enable ambient temperature storage and transportation.
As a result, partners using Upkara’s technology enjoy decreased costs while improving their customers’ access to vital research materials and pharmaceuticals.
Why Our Technology is Better
Upkara’s innovative technology is designed to address the major pain points in your operations.
Decreases Waste
Our technology allows manufacturers to package products in single-use form factors that both appeal to customers and increase the number of sellable units.
Saves Time
Our novel vitrification method stabilizes biomolecules in as little as one hour, compared to the 12-72 hours required for lyophilization.
Eliminates Cold Storage
Since freezing isn’t used with our technology, stabilized products can be kept at ambient temperatures—both in long-term storage and transportation.
Flexible Applications
Upkara’s technology has already demonstrated the ability to stabilize enzymes, small molecules, antibodies, and mRNA.
Improves Access
Without cold storage requirements, products stabilized with Upkara technology become more accessible and have a longer shelf life.
Easy To Use
The Upkara stabilization technology requires no to minimal optimization, making it user friendly for any scientist.
