Boost cells with a quick spin

The Orbital Booster turns the centrifuge already in your lab into an intracellular delivery system.


Simple, Accessible Delivery

Orbital boosters enable novel cell engineering and drug discovery in a single spin.

No new instruments

Orbital runs in the centrifuge you already have, no new instruments or integrations needed.

Any cell, any cargo

Each booster is validated for a specific cell type, and works with any cargo: DELs, RNPs, mRNA, proteins, etc.

Ready-to-run

Each booster is designed for a specific cell type, and ships with ready-to-run protocol so you can skip the optimization.

Cost effective

Test a new idea for the cost of a booster, not an instrument.

Revolutionary Delivery

As the booster spins, cells squeeze through tiny pores and take in cargo while preserving cell health and function.

01 · Load your cells and cargo

Load your cells and cargo along with your validated, cell-type specific booster.

02 · Spin in your centrifuge

Run your centrifuge at the speed and time in the booster protocol.

03 · Collect cells and run your assay

Collect your boosted cells, with health and function intact, and jump straight into your assay!


Proof Points

Efficient Cargo Delivery in Multiple Human Cell Types

The Orbital technology enables highly efficient delivery of impermeable cargos into cells, achieving 70-90% delivery across both primary human cells and immortalized cell lines.

Preserved Cell Viability in Multiple Human Cell Types

Portal’s Orbital platform is compatible with a variety of cell types, preserving ~80% viability post-delivery.

Multiplex and Functional Cargo Delivery into HeLa Cells

The Orbital platform supports easy cargo multiplexing and enables functional expression of nucleic acids upon intracellular delivery. Co-delivery with fluorescently labeled IgG antibody and dextran resulted in 79% double-positive HeLa cells immediately post-delivery (left), while co-delivery of labeled dextran with circular RNA encoding GFP showed 74% positive expression in HeLa cells 24 hours post-delivery (right).
