What Biomedica Solution does

Biomedica Solution is a privately held Japanese company founded on December 10, 2010, by Representative Director Nakao Atsushi. The company provides end-to-end infrastructure for the regenerative medicine and cell therapy sector, specializing in GMP-compliant cell culture processing facility (CPC) design, proprietary cell culture equipment, validation and sanitation services, outsourced quality testing, and facility operations management. It is headquartered in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, with a sales branch in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (relocated July 2024), and serves university hospitals, medical research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology firms across Japan.

The company's technology stack is anchored by proprietary in-house equipment: the AC800 large-scale CO2 incubator with integrated robot-hand transport, the AC408xy isolator-connectable CO2 incubator with automatic chamber transfer, the CSC series of closed safety cabinets with VHP decontamination, and the Cell Processing Integration Management System software for protocol-based, paperless operations. It also distributes the Applied Cells MARS cell separation line and supplies consumables such as gamma-sterilized cleanroom wipers (BM wiper-s) and humidification bags. Through its BMS-FACT facility in Osaka, the company holds a Specific Cell Processing Product Manufacturing License (FA5210002, issued November 29, 2021), enabling it to manufacture specific cell processing products for clinical research and physician-initiated trials. The company is also co-developing a blockchain/Web3-based cell culture management system with Jasmy Corporation, with the My Genome Guard project launched in April 2026 alongside Novacellum Corporation.

Biomedica Solution operates a direct enterprise sales model with no third-party distribution. Revenue is generated through capital equipment sales (incubators, freezers, CSC cabinets), quote-based professional services (validation DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ/PV, sanitation, maintenance, facility operations management), outsourced quality testing (sterility, endotoxin, mycoplasma, virus), and cell culture processing services. With 50 employees and approximately 20 years of operational heritage dating to Japan's first CPC, the company is positioned as a niche total-solution provider in Japan's regenerative medicine infrastructure stack.
