Molecular-weight control

Steering of intracellular UDP-sugar precursor ratios to set hyaluronic-acid chain length, from 10 kDa oligomers to more than 2.5 MDa.

Where it's used

Biosynthetic hyaluronic acid
Microbial precision fermentation of hyaluronic acid to a defined molecular weight and pharmacopoeia-grade purity — a B2B biopolymer API for ophthalmic viscoelastics, dermal fillers, orthopedic viscosupplementation and premium cosmetics, under FDA, EMA and NMPA oversight.
