The NanoCyte Technology

NanoCyte is leveraging a sophisticated natural injection system that evolved in sea life over the last 700 million years. The NanoCyte micro-injectors are harvested from sea-anemones, which are cultivated in a closed, circulatory system at our facilities. The micro-injectors are composed of a collagen-based capsule with an internal coiled microscopic nano-needle. Upon combination with the active solution (drug or cosmeceutical), a high pressure of 150 atmospheres is developed within the micro-injector, resulting in an unfolding of the long thin nano-needle out of the microcapsule at an extremely high speed. The nano-needle penetrates the skin at an acceleration of 40,000 g. During the penetration process, the active solution is pumped into, and through the micro-injector, into the skin. With these physical characteristics, the target compound is delivered to its target site within a fraction of a second. Once positioned in the skin, the micro-injectors continue to facilitate transport of the target compound through the newly formed channel for several hours, or until their physical removal (rubbing).
