3D Cell Culture

VITROGEL® IS A XENO-FREE (ANIMAL & HUMAN-FREE) BIOFUNCTIONAL HYDROGEL SYSTEM

Closely mimicking the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environment, our state-of-the-art hydrogel system gives an outstanding balance of biological functions and operating ease to establish a robust 3D cell culture platform and injectable delivery system to advance drug discovery, tissue engineering, cell therapy, and personalized medicine.

Animal-based basement membrane has known batch-to-batch inconsistency and with over 2,000 undefined components. In contrast, the VitroGel system is a defined synthetic hydrogel with functional ligand modifications with no animal or human compounds. The VitroGel system provides robust hydrogel properties with controllable mechanical strength, functional ligands, & degradability. Researchers have control of the whole hydrogel system to create a biomimicking environment (ECM) for many different applications.

OPEN YOUR CELL CULTURE ASSAYS TO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

A xeno-free system is key for 3D cell culture in clinical applications. Our cutting-edge hydrogel enables high-throughput capable processing to establish 3D organotypic models from both cell lines and patient-derived cells. Using our hydrogel system as an injectable delivery system, scientists can achieve better cell retention and higher cell viability for cell therapy. This groundbreaking technology allows for cell recovery from the 3D hydrogel matrix easier than ever before. Our products can be manufactured under cGMP and open the door for clinical applications.

VitroGel Hydrogel Features

Closely mimicking the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environment, this distinct system brings many advantages to bridge in vitro and in vivo studies through 3D cell culture and beyond.

VitroGel® Ready-To-Use Hydrogels

JUST ADD CELLS

A series of user friendly functional hydrogels offering an excellent balance of simplicity and versatility.

The ready-to-use VitroGel hydrogels have optimized multi-functional ligands and concentrations formulations to support a wide range of cell types for different applications, including various 3D cell models, stem cell spheroid, and organoids. Each hydrogel is ready to mix with cell suspension directly. There is no additional adjustment required. For many users, this is the preferred hydrogel for 3D cell culture and 2D coating.

VitroGel® High Concentration Hydrogels
3D CELL CULTURE YOUR WAY!
Tunable Hydrogels – Building blocks for unlimited creativity and maximum flexibility

VitroGel High Concentration Hydrogels offer a set of building blocks to create a functional micro-environment that closely mimics the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for cells to feel like at home. The high concentration formulation allows the maximum flexibility to manipulate the mechanical strength of hydrogel from 10 to 4000 Pa. The hydrogels come with several types of functional ligand modifications such as RGD (VitroGel RGD), Collagen (VitroGel COL), Laminin (VitroGel IKVAV & VitroGel YIGSR), and biodegradable Matrix Metalloproteinase (VitroGel MMP). The system allows scientists to investigate the cell behaviors in response to an individual functional ligand or create multi-functional hydrogel combinations by blending different versions of VitroGel.

Create your own ECM. Create over 100 possible combinations using the high concentration hydrogels.
