Application

Col-Tgel is a tailorable 3D cell culture matrix for tumor cell, stem cell and primary cell. We provide soft, medium and stiff gel for your different cell types.

It provides collagen backbone for cell attachment and allows customizing matrix components by additional extracellular matrix, growth factors, cytokines, and/or hormones for optimizing three dimensional cell culture.

This product is for research use only.

Unique Features

Handle at room temperature (no need on ice)
Save money: 30% below market price
Save time: No hanging drop, rotating wall vessel bioreactors
3 stiffness(unique feature): to fit most cell types
2 mL aliquotes: avoid freeze-thaw cycle - user friendly
Cytokine / Hormon free: no background
Flexible:

- Col-Tgel can be customized for different experiments.
- Geometry: 3D embedding, 2D seeding on the top of hydrogel, or unique molds.
- Sample size and quantity: 6- to 96- well with/without tissue culture insert or transwell.
- Matrix component and stiffness: collagen-based with different yield strength (i.e. Soft, Med and Stiff).
- Transparency: easy to observe directly under microscopes and can apply with immunohistochemistry directly.

Col-Tgel is a tailorable collagen-based, cell remodelable hydrogel system. It not only can be used a carrier for cell or drug delivery, but also in vitro cell culture platforms. Besides, it contains cell essential nutrients, and provides a stable and durable platform for long-term studies such as cell-cell, cell-matrix interactions, and etc.
