Nova Biomedical Expands Cell Line Development Portfolio with NanoCellect Asset Acquisition

27 July 2026 | Monday | News

Addition of NanoCellect's WOLF G2 microfluidic cell sorting technology strengthens Nova Biomedical's integrated bioprocessing portfolio, supporting faster clone selection and streamlined cell line development.

Nova Biomedical announced a transaction involving certain assets of NanoCellect, a provider of microfluidic cell sorting technology.

This expands Nova Biomedical's capabilities in cell line development and strengthens its ability to support biopharmaceutical workflows from early development through manufacturing.

NanoCellect® WOLF G2® cell sorting platform introduces gentle, microfluidic-based cell selection and isolation, complementing Nova Biomedical's existing Solentim portfolio for clone generation, verification, and growth analysis. Together, these technologies enable a more integrated approach to cell line development—linking cell selection, single-cell isolation, and high-confidence clone verification.

This expansion of Nova's portfolio will accelerate cell line development timelines and improve clone selection outcomes, while establishing a stronger foundation for process development, scale-up, and manufacturing.

Nova Biomedical's portfolio also includes robust analytical solutions for cell culture monitoring, including metabolite analysis with BioProfile® FLEX2, osmolality measurement with OsmoTECH®, and cell counting and viability with BioProfile® FAST CDV. These capabilities serve as critical control points across the bioprocessing workflow and are used from development through production.

The addition of the NanoCellect products further advances Nova Biomedical's strategy to provide a more connected portfolio of technologies supporting continuity, insight, and decision-making across the full bioprocessing lifecycle.

"NanoCellect adds a critical upstream capability to our portfolio and strengthens our ability to connect key steps in cell line development," said John Luck, President of Nova Biomedical's Biopharma Business. "By integrating cell sorting with clone isolation and high-confidence verification, alongside analytical control points such as cell culture monitoring and osmolality, we are enabling customers to reach a successful clone more quickly and generate insights that help optimize clone selection and drive better performance during process development, scale-up, and manufacturing. This is an important step in building a more connected and differentiated platform for cell line development and bioprocessing."
