Microcarriers
P2 dissolvable microcarriers are designed for cell culture processes where efficient cell expansion and simplified harvesting are required. These microcarriers for cell culture are made from a plant-based biopolymer and can be removed through a controlled dissolution step, eliminating the need for filtration or mechanical separation.P2 supports a range of adherent cell types and can be tailored in stiffness, size, and surface properties depending on process requirements.Key Features
P1 synthetic microcarriers are microcarriers for cell culture designed to support the expansion of adherent cells, including more demanding cell types. Made from a fully defined synthetic polymer, P1 provides a controlled and consistent surface for cell attachment.These microcarriers are not dissolvable and are suited to processes where stable, non-degradable carriers are required. P1 can be tailored in stiffness, size, and surface properties depending on application needs.Key Features
X1 dissolvable microcarriers are microcarriers for cell culture made from a gelatin-based material, designed to support attachment and expansion of adherent cells. These dissolvable microcarriers can be removed through enzymatic digestion using TrypLE or Trypsin, enabling cell harvest without mechanical separation.X1 provides a biologically derived surface that supports a wide range of commonly used cell types and can be tailored in stiffness, size, and surface properties depending on application needs.Key Features
Hydrogels
Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate (PEGDA) features polyethylene glycol functionalised with acrylate groups, customisable for use in cell culture, biological 3D printing, tissue engineering, and photolithography applications. It is strictly designed for scientific research and is not intended for human application.
Custom modification to the gel can be provided upon request – including peptide or other hydrogel combination.
Alginate Methacryloyl (AlgMA) is a modified form of sodium alginate that is designed to solidify into a gel when exposed to UV or visible light, using a photoinitiator. This innovative light-curing method offers superior portability and produces gels with excellent internal uniformity compared to traditional methods that use divalent ions such as calcium. The resulting AlgMA hydrogel features a three-dimensional structure that is conducive to cell growth and differentiation, and contains active chemical sites for further reactions. This hydrogel is particularly valuable in various biomedical applications.
