Core offering

BioSmart Nanotechnology LTDA is a contract research and innovation company that develops nanotechnology-based products, services, and processes built on a proprietary bacterial nanocellulose and biopolymer platform. The company sells customized laboratory analysis services (physicochemical, thermal, spectroscopic, microscopic, and rheological characterization), technical-scientific consulting, and licensed patented technologies covering radiotherapy bolus membranes, polymer filaments for additive manufacturing, chronic wound hydrogels, and silver-nanoparticle antimicrobial dressings. Solutions are delivered through three divisions — BioAgriTech (agricultural biosensors and biological control), BioHealth (hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, health monitoring devices, biopolymer films), and BioEco Solutions (biopolymers and hyaluronic acid from agro-industrial waste).

Product overview

BioSmart Nanotechnology LTDA is a Research and Development company founded in 2017, specializing in nanotechnology-based products, services, and processes across three main technology areas: BioAgri Tech (agricultural solutions including Aptassensor for Salmonella detection and biological control formulations), BioHealth (healthcare solutions including real-time monitoring devices, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, and biopolymer films), and BioEco Solutions (sustainable solutions producing biopolymers and hyaluronic acid from agro-industrial waste). The company holds four licensed patents including nanocellulose membranes for radiotherapy, polymer composite filaments for 3D printing, hydrogels for wound treatment, and antimicrobial wound dressings with silver nanoparticles. In addition to its technology portfolio, BioSmart offers laboratory analysis services (pH, thermal analysis, FTIR, Raman, SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, rheometry, cytotoxicity, and stability studies) and technical-scientific consulting services.
