Our Technology
ClearH2O leverages advanced food science and proprietary manufacturing processes to create high-quality gel-based hydration and nutrition solutions. Our gels are carefully formulated using purified water, natural hydrocolloids, and specialized nutrient blends, combined to ensure superior stability, consistent quality, and optimal bioavailability.
Our rigorous quality control protocols, including independent third-party laboratory testing, guarantee that every batch meets stringent safety and performance standards. Each product is backed by a Certificate of Analysis, ensuring transparency and reliability.
The latest in alginate bead technology
AquaPearl® is our advanced alginate bead platform designed for precise ingredient encapsulation and targeted delivery. By customizing the size and structure of the internal gel matrix, we can adjust the properties or incorporate ingredients like probiotics, vaccines, and micronutrients directly into the beadlet. This protects active components during transport and storage while enabling them to reach further into the digestive system before breaking down. The slower disintegration of the bead promotes improved uptake where it matters most, optimizing delivery and efficacy for challenging ingredients.
Bioactive protection
The alginate matrix physically isolates actives like probiotics, vaccines, or micronutrients from harsh environments, helping maintain stability during storage and transit
Controlled release by design
Our process allows precise control over bead size by modulating nozzle, flow, or agitation parameters. This lets you tailor bead dimensions to optimize capture and release of specific actives or organisms
Reinforced with natural hydrocolloids
We enrich the alginate matrix with complementary natural hydrocolloids to enhance bead strength and resilience
Customizeable properties for varying applications
Our manufacturing process allows us to customize the properties of our gel products like texture and flowability to optimize solutions for various use cases. Below is a spectrum of different gel textures that we offer for animal research and agriculture applications.
Firm gels
Firm gels that retain shape and structure
Structured gels such as HydroGel™ 95 and AquaBeads® maintain form over extended periods, supporting prolonged access during transportation, feed attraction, and stable presentation of nutrients or actives.
Paste Gels
Nutrient-dense gel for added support
DietGel® Boost and DietGel® 93M provide a denser consistency that allows for hand mixing of powdered ingredients or medications while remaining easy for animals to consume voluntarily.
Soft Gels
Soft gels for hydration and medication delivery
Soft, spoonable products like HydroGel®, MediGel® Sucralose, DietGel® Recovery, and LabGel® Banana provide hydration and palatable support for research animals. Their thermoreversible properties allow easy liquification for dosing and re-gelling for consumption, making them versatile for research and supportive care.
Flowable gels
Free-flowing gel for vaccine delivery
AquaDrop® Concentrate is a flowable gel that, when combined with our reactant, forms a patented dual-phase droplet designed for topical application to day-old chicks and poults. This delivery method enables efficient oral uptake of biologics at the hatchery.
