About us
NanoSanguis is an unique niche where the advanced science meets practical application experience and professional business. The company has its origin in Warsaw University of Technology – the cluster of excellence in polish innovative commercialization. We have started as a team of PhD candidates developing technology of oxygen therapeutics. In December 2015, together with two VC capitals – Start Venture Poland and Giza Polish Ventures, we founded NanoSanguis to bring to the market first safe and effective red blood cell substitute.
Mission
Strategy
Technology
Despite of the fact that donor blood transfusions saved many lives, they still have not overcame serious problems. The short shelf life seems to be the most critical. 1.3 million pints of donated blood spoil every year since blood only has a 40 day shelf life. In NanoSanguis we developed the technology for producing synthetic oxygen carrier which is stable for at least one year of storage. Our blood substitute is based on full physiological, buffered fluid composed of balanced minerals compatible with human organism enriched with the source of energy and biomimic microcapsules containing oxygen.

The oxygen therapeutic produced by our team has unique features:
-
nontoxic and bio-inert properties (it does not interfere in metabolic and enzymatic pathways),
-
effective oxygen transport capacity (it can carry several times more oxygen per cubic centimeter than blood, and load/unload oxygen 2 times faster than hemoglobin),
-
unlimited manufacturing capabilities,
-
compatible with all blood types.
Since our product is synthesized in sterile laboratory conditions it can challenge other disadvantage of natural blood- risk of viruses infections. It is critical issue especially in Africa, where in 2004, about 1.2 million units of blood were collected from donors who are considered at high risk for transmitting HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Moreover, our artificial blood substitute can overcome the ethical issues and religious obstacles connected with natural blood transfusions.
In NanoSanguis we have also recognised another great field of potential application of our oxygen carrier- the transport of organs for transplantations. There is a huge need of improving the organs transport systems. Because of non physiological conditions of transport, many transplantations end with organ failure. Especially in countries where the distances between hospitals and cities are big and the transport lasts hours (U.S.), this problem seems to be crucial. In NanoSanguis we want to apply our oxygen therapeutic to organ transport systems not only to provide the physiological conditions but also to give to the organ the ability for regeneration before transplant.

Effects
The research results from the project “Red blood cell substitute” (14‐5712/16, Mazovian Unit of EU Programmes Implementation).
Nano- and microemulsions have found various applications in pharmaceutical and medical areas both in research field as well as in applied solutions for drug delivery or diagnostic agents. However, production of stable and bio- / hemocompatible nanoemulsions are still challenging. New group of ionic surfactants have been synthesized with perfluorohexyl- or perfluorooctyl-groups as hydrophobic tail. The CMC and the parametres of the O/W emulsion (the particle size distribution and the zeta-potential) were determined. The influence of the surfactants on in vitro proliferation of human endothelial cell lines HMEC-1, murine fibroblasts L929 and hemolysis were investigated as characteristic for biocompatibility. Three candidates of surfactants were selected for pre-clinical tests on a small animal model (adult Sprague Dawley rats) on the basis of preliminary studies. This allowed to obtain nanoemulsions with narrow droplets size (average droplet diameter 141 – 147 nm with PDI index 0.059 – 0.065) and showed better stability over time in comparison to the commercially available surfactants. Neither cytotoxic nor hemolytic potential were observed during incubation of obtained fluorosurfactans with model cell lines L929 and HMEC-1 (average cell viability above 85% after incubation with 1% solutions) and erythrocytes (hemolysis rate below 3.1% for all 0.5% solutions). During acute toxicity test on rat model, it was found that all three tested surfactant solutions showed no significant differences in controlled parameters and survival rate with control group (p>0.05). Presented surfactants are dedicated but not limited to emulsification of organic fluorocompounds.
