Our Technology: Mushroom Biopolymer Nanoencapsulation
Allergen-Free:
Eliminating the Allergen Risk Body
Shellfish are among the most common food allergens. By using 100% mushroom-derived biopolymers, we eliminate this risk. The result: products that are safer, inclusive, and accessible to a broader range of consumers.
Vegan: Meeting the Demand
for Vegan Formulations
The modern consumer demands transparency and ethical sourcing. Our mushroom-derived biopolymer is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. This allows your brand to confidently make ‘vegan-friendly’ claims.
Superior Quality Through Controlled Sourcing
Sourced from carefully controlled processes, our mushroom biopolymer exhibits a higher degree of purity, and a more consistent molecular weight compared to variable ocean-derived sources. This scientific consistency translates directly into a more predictable, reliable, and effective performance for your encapsulated ingredients.
The Benefits of Your Formulation:
Increased Shelf Life: Our nano-shields protect against oxidation and UV degradation.
Enhanced Solubility: We can improve the solubility of hydrophobic compounds in aqueous formulations.
Targeted Delivery: The surface of our nanoparticles can be modified for targeted adhesion and release.
Improved Sensory Experience: Mask unpleasant tastes or odors of certain active ingredients.

R&D and Pharmaceutical Collaboration
Research & Therapeutic Platforms: Partnering to Solve Critical Health Challenges
Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Academic Research
Our Pitch: For our partners in the pharmaceutical and biotech space, we function as a dedicated extension of your R&D team. Our chitosan platform offers a promising pathway for solving complex drug delivery challenges. We engage in collaborative, milestone-based projects to assess feasibility and develop novel delivery systems for high-value active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Our R&D Focus Areas Include:
- Oncology (Anti-Cancer Delivery):
- Our technology is an ideal platform for enhancing the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. We work with partners to explore strategies for improving drug solubility, reducing systemic toxicity, and investigating pathways for targeted delivery to tumor sites.
- Protein & Peptide Delivery (e.g., Antivirals):
- We specialize in encapsulating and protecting large, sensitive molecules like proteins and peptides from enzymatic degradation. This opens doors for novel oral or targeted delivery routes for molecules that have traditionally required injection.
- Gene Therapy & Nucleic Acid Delivery:
- The cationic nature of chitosan makes it a compelling non-viral vector for the delivery of genetic material like siRNA and pDNA. We partner with research organizations to develop next-generation gene delivery vehicles.
Our Partnership Model: We structure our pharmaceutical collaborations through feasibility studies, joint development agreements, and technology licensing. Our process is designed to align with your pre-clinical and clinical development pathways.
Our Science: Validated by Science, Trusted by Industry.
At BioNano Solutions, our claims are not just marketing promises; they are backed by rigorous scientific research and peer-reviewed data. Our commitment to transparency and innovation is demonstrated through our contributions to the scientific community. This research is the foundation upon which we build more effective, safer, and reliable products for our partners.
