NovaHep was founded in 2005 on the basis of research conducted at the Huddinge unit of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The company is now based in Gothenburg, Sweden, at the Biotech Center.
NovaHep is active within the field of regenerative medicine, developing stem cell technology with a wide range of applications.
The main area of focus is the production of biological, individualised vessels, in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg. The vessels can be used to replace non-functioning blood vessels in patients with different types of vascular disease. The product is unique and patented. Through an improved alternative to traditional treatments, NovaHep will deliver a life changing impact to patients and provide for major benefits for hospitals, healthcare providers and society – globally.
NovaHep also works with liver stem cells for the purpose of developing a system in which drugs can be tested without the use of laboratory animals.

The Multifunctional pipette is tool for fast localized solution delivery for bioscientists.

It is comprised of a pneumatic control unit, an interfacing holder and the disposable pipette.

In combination with conventional micromanipulation apparatus, a small 100 micron  virtual flow chamber can be free positioned within a sample.

​Utilizing hydrodynamic confinement, the delivered solution can be localized and rapidly switched without contaminating the sample; enabling large numbers of experiments and parameters to be screened on a single sample dish.

Automation and screening can be achieved through scripting protocols.

Labview and Matlab libraries are now available.

The business operations conducted within life science companies often involve major risks and opportunities for significant earnings. The risks come not only from the advanced scientific and supervisory environment but also from complicated business models. A key to success is for companies to be able to handle these risks. This demands that the contracts which are produced exhaustively govern all of the risks and that these risks are appropriately allocated between the parties.

NORDIA has a practice group with lawyers experienced in life science to assist national and international companies in the area, both listed companies and private companies.
