About GelTech Labs

Revolutionizing hydrogel testing through automation. Hydrogels are next-gen materials enabling breakthroughs in drug delivery, wound care, tissue engineering, cosmetics, contact lenses, and more—yet testing their properties remains largely manual, slow, and error-prone. GelTech’s flagship product, Carousel, is the first automation tool designed specifically for hydrogel swelling and degradation testing—cutting costs, boosting reproducibility, and accelerating innovation across the $5B polymer lab market. Backed by $1M in funding, NSF I-Corps, and partnerships with academic and enterprise leaders, we are setting a new industry standard and paving the way for smarter R&D, Quality Control and faster commercialization of hydrogel-based products.
