    Abstract: An electrostatic process is used for coating a biological material with a uniform, continuous polymer layer by discharging a suspension of the biological material in a gelable coating polymer solution in a continuous stream through an orifice into an electrostatic field. The stream is attenuated to form droplets by maintaining an electrostatic voltage between the needle and the gelling solution which is sufficient to maintain an attraction of at least 1.times.10.sup.-6 newtons on the stream of liquid leaving the needle, and the droplets are collected in a gelling solution. A preferred product is pancreatic islets having a continuous, smooth coating of high polymannuronate non-fibrogenic alginate having a thickness less than 200 .mu.m such as about 20-200 .mu.m. The alginate preferably contains less than 1 wt. % fucose, less than 0.5 wt. % sulfate and less than 0.01 wt. % phloroglucinol, is free of fibrinoogenic concentration of protein, and has a mannuronate to guluronate ratio of from 1.2 to 6. Preferably, the electrostatic field is formed by applying an electrostatic continuous DC voltage to each the needle and gelling solution so that the needle and solution have opposite charges.

    Abstract: Spherical microcapsules containing biological material such as tissue or living cells are formed with a diameter of less than 300 .mu.m using a microcapsule generating system containing an air knife. The air knife is formed by an air sleeve positioned eccentrically around a needle. An encapsulating material such as an alginate solution containing the biological material to be encapsulated is forced through the needle, while pressurized air is introduced into the air sleeve and flows out an end opening of the sleeve in which the needle is positioned. The pressurized air breaks up the alginate being discharged from the needle. The resultant alginate droplets fall into a collecting tank where they contact a gelling medium, such as CaCl.sub.2, so that the outer surface of these droplets harden and microcapsules are formed. In addition to being eccentrically positioned to facilitate very small droplet formation, the needle preferably has a beveled, pointed discharge end surface to enhance droplet size reduction. The beveled end surface of the needle preferably extends beyond the end opening of the sleeve and is positioned facing the center of the air sleeve. The end opening of the air sleeve may also be beveled.

    Abstract: Transplants, such as pancreatic islets, are made suitable for transplantation into a genetically dissimilar individual by coating the transplant with a surface-conforming bonding bridge layer of a multifunctional material that binds chemically to a surface component of the transplant followed by a semipermeable, biologically compatible layer of a polymer that binds chemically to the bonding bridge layer.
