About Us
transforming how the world preserves & transports biology - without cryopreservation.
Atelerix provides patented alginate hydrogel technology to stabilise cells, tissues, blood products, viruses & vectors at room temperature. From discovery research to clinical logistics, Atelerix helps scientists preserve viability, cut costs, & simplify global transport.
Often referred to as ‘the hedgehog guys’, Atelerix is known for making cell and tissue preservation radically simpler.
Welcome to the marvellous future of bioscience, where storage is a doddle & cells remain impeccably fresh!
What even is an atelerix?
Enter the hedgehog, or more specifically, its scholarly alias, Atelerix. our muse? the African four-toed pygmy hedgehog, a tiny creature with the magical ability to hit the pause button & hibernate when the mercury dips below the cosy mark of 20°C.
And just like that, with a dash of geeky delight & a nod to our spiky little friends, Atelerix was conjured into existence. we may not be able to curl up in a ball & snooze the winter away, but by golly, we can sure keep your cells, tissues, & viruses in a state of happy hibernation until they're ready to wake up & get to work!
Born in the lab. Built for the world
Atelerix was founded by a team of scientists who saw the limitations of cryopreservation - and knew there had to be a better way.
Spun out from world-class research in Newcastle, our company has grown into a platform for scalable, ambient preservation.
Today, we’re helping researchers, biotech firms and diagnostics teams store and ship cells and tissues, without the cold chain.
“we're here to turn the cryologistics world on its head, becoming every laboratory's favourite shipping companion across the globe. revolutionising how labs operate, trimming costs, & giving a jolly good boost to reducing carbon emissions worldwide.”
