What Nanofiber Solutions does

Nanofiber Solutions is a privately held biotechnology company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, that designs and manufactures electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffolds marketed to life sciences researchers, surgeons, and veterinary practitioners. The core platform produces three-dimensional scaffolds with an average fiber diameter of approximately 700nm, porosity exceeding 90%, and thicknesses from 200 to 700µm, intended to mimic the extracellular matrix and provide a more physiologically realistic environment for cell growth than traditional 2D polystyrene culture.

The company's product portfolio spans multiple verticals. In 3D cell culture, it offers nanofiber plates (6, 24, 96, and 384-well formats), chamber slides, dishes, plate inserts, and custom 3D scaffolds with both aligned and random fiber orientations, supporting applications in cancer research, stem cell expansion and differentiation, in vitro disease modeling, and drug testing. The Interactive Microenvironment System (IMEMS) is a six-well co-culture platform that enables chemical communication between distinct cell types without physical contact. In regenerative medicine, the company lists the Phoenix Wound Matrix (produced by partner RenovoDerm) and the Rotium Bioresorbable Wick (produced by partner Atreon Ortho) for wound care and rotator cuff repair, respectively. In veterinary medicine, it sells NanoWhiskers™, an injectable, micronized nanofiber product used in equine joint injections for osteoarthritis.

Nanofiber Solutions generates revenue through one-time sales of its consumable and device products via direct website sales and a global distributor network, supplemented by custom scaffold collaborations. No public pricing is disclosed; quotes are obtained through sales inquiries. The company has been funded primarily through a single disclosed $1.5M private round in December 2013 and approximately $916K in National Science Foundation awards between 2012 and 2015, with no subsequent funding rounds visible in the source data. The leadership team includes CEO Ross Kayuha and founders Jed Johnson (also CTO) and John Lannutti.

Core offering

Nanofiber Solutions designs and manufactures electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) 3D nanofiber scaffolds that mimic the body's extracellular matrix for 3D cell culture research, regenerative medicine, and veterinary applications. The product portfolio includes standard-format scaffolds (plates, dishes, chamber slides, inserts), custom scaffolds, the IMEMS co-culture system, NanoWhiskers injectable nanofibers, Phoenix Wound Matrix, and Rotium Bioresorbable Wick. Customers are primarily life sciences researchers, pharmaceutical companies, surgeons, and veterinary practitioners.

Product overview

Nanofiber Solutions is a biotechnology company that designs and manufactures novel three-dimensional (3D) nanofiber scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix found within the body. Their product portfolio centers on proprietary electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber technology with an average fiber diameter of ~700nm. The core offering includes multiple 3D cell culture formats (Nanofiber Plates, Chamber Slides, Dishes, Plate Inserts, and Custom Scaffolds) designed for applications including cancer research, stem cell growth and differentiation, and in vitro disease models. Additional products target regenerative medicine and veterinary markets, including NanoWhiskers™ for injectable cell scaffold applications, Phoenix Wound Matrix for advanced wound care, and Rotium for orthopedic repair. The scaffolds offer 3x greater surface area than standard tissue culture polystyrene with porosity exceeding 90% and support faster cell expansion rates while maintaining higher percentages of pluripotent stem cells.
