Hydrogels
-
Hyaluronic Acid Methacryloyl features methacrylated hyaluronic acid alongside the photoinitiator LAP, tailored for use in cell culture, biological 3D printing, and tissue engineering among other scientific fields. It is strictly designed for scientific research and is not intended for human application.
-
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.
Reagents and Consumables
