Application

Lyobead

The Lyobead manufacturing process begins with bead creation – the dispensing and freezing of liquid, reagent, or drug using technologies that deliver singulated beads of the desired size and shape. BioDot’s platform design expertise applied to the Lyobead formation challenge resulted in the established new Sphera™ discrete dispensing technology.
