Description In layperson's terms, Micap makes microscopic capsules; for technical details, please consult your local biochemist. The biotech company uses a technology called "micro-encapsulation" to make preformed micro-capsules, which are used by food, drug, and chemical companies. Micro-encapsulation employs single-celled organisms such as yeast to make the tiny structures. Once formed, micro-capsules have many uses such as converting liquids to solids and separating or stabilizing chemical compounds. The company's largest investors are SkyePharma and Sigma Venture Funds.
