Inspired by nature, empowered by advanced nanoscience. X-Therma stops ice to unlock the full benefits of low-temperature for human health and comfort. We dedicate ourselves to support and accelerate continued advancements in regenerative medicine by extending time exactly where every minute matters.
As temperature drops, chemical reactions slow down exponentially, resulting in extended time. This holds massive potential for applications in medicine and other areas.
However, the side effect of low temperature is ice formation. Stem cells, transplantable organs, and other regenerative medicines experience ‘freezer burn’ under the presence of ice. Effective cryoprotectants are essential for long-term biostorage.
Our solutions are built from the intersection of two disciplines.
We study nature’s evolutionary defense against ice formation. Then, we use nanoscience to create new molecules that are both more effective than nature’s benchmark and more suitable for human applications.
X-Therma is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, with research centers in Richmond and Berkeley. We are selected as an Industrial User at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where we have access to state-of-the-art instruments and facilities for rapid discovery.
We have multiple tiers of technology in our pipeline with the primary goal of safe, effective, and long-term biostorage.
Our frontier product is XT-Vivo™: a state-of-the-art ice-blocking preservation solution that is DMSO-free, protein-free, serum-free, and chemically defined, set to transform the regenerative medicine market.
The demand for a breakthrough in cryopreservation has never been higher as Regenerative Medicine quickly approaches the limits of progress that can be achieved without advanced biostorage.
X-Therma is perfectly positioned to participate in the new grand challenge “Organs on Demand” initiated by the US Federal Government through major funding agencies. We have also been invited to take part in the BioFabUSA initiative by the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI). We have established close collaborations with world-renowned research institutes.
