Quality & Safety

Nanotein assessed the NanoSpark™ activator with adherence to rigorous ISO 10993 standards in preparation for GMP manufacturing. The composition of the NanoSpark™ reagent is protein-based, and consequently naturally biodegradable, which provides a significant safety advantage over magnetic bead-based and synthetic products. A reputable medical device CRO was commissioned to complete the in vitro & in vivo ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.  The tests were run at >20X the predicted possible carry-over amount, which resulted in no toxicity or adverse effects:
