About the product

We produce calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles by controlled chemical precipitation. This method gives a reproducible size, spherical shape and high phase purity.

Vaterite provides a high specific surface area, a developed porous structure and good loading of various compounds. The particles are used for targeted drug delivery, encapsulation of proteins, DNA, RNA and small molecules, template synthesis of micro- and nanocapsules, tissue engineering and studies of cellular transport.
