Kuraray

Founded in 1926, Kuraray initially commercialized synthetic rayon and then became the first in the world to commercialize polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers. Today, Kuraray is a global leader in specialty chemicals and materials. One of our notable innovations is SCAPOVA™ PVA microcarriers, designed for cell culture applications in regenerative medicine. These microcarriers provide a large surface area for cell growth, are easy to scale up, and ensure high cell proliferation rates. Kuraray microcarriers are also known for their safety and ease of use, making them ideal for therapeutic cell culture.
