Description

Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) is a widely used hydrogel for 3D cell culture, tissue engineering, and bioprinting. Combining the biological properties of gelatin with the versatility of a photocrosslinkable material, GelMA supports cell attachment, proliferation, and tissue-like organisation across a wide range of applications.

Smart MCs offers GelMA in three standard variants, GM-30, GM-60, and GM-90, allowing researchers to select the degree of methacrylation and hydrogel stiffness best suited to their experimental needs. Each kit includes GelMA and LAP photoinitiator for fast, reliable light-induced crosslinking.

For research use only. Not intended for human clinical applications.

What’s Included

Each GelMA Hydrogel Set includes GelMA with a white, sponge-like appearance and complementary LAP photoinitiator.

Performance

GelMA is designed to provide consistent performance across a variety of 3D cell culture workflows.

  • Tunable stiffness through formulation selection
  • Rapid and reliable light-induced crosslinking
  • Compatible with extrusion and light-based bioprinting
  • Supports high cell viability

Detailed characterisation data is available on request.

Applications

Suitable for:

  • 3D cell culture
  • Organoid culture
  • Tissue engineering
  • 3D bioprinting
  • Drug discovery and screening
  • Disease modelling

Why use GelMA?

GelMA combines the biological functionality of gelatin with the versatility of a photocrosslinkable hydrogel, providing an environment that supports cell attachment, growth, and organisation. By varying the degree of methacrylation, researchers can tailor hydrogel stiffness to suit different cell types and applications, making GelMA well suited for 3D cell culture, organoid culture, tissue engineering, bioprinting, and drug discovery.

Custom options

Custom GelMA formulations are available for specialised research applications, including:

  • High porosity formulations
  • Fluorescent GelMA
  • Peptide-functionalised hydrogels
  • Hybrid hydrogel systems
