Collection: 3-D Life Hydrogel Components for 3D Cell Culture

The 3-D Life Hydrogels technology by Cellendes is an integrated system for the generation of biomimetic hydrogels used in 3D cell culture. The 3-D Life system consists of two polymers that form a hydrogel by covalent crosslinking at ambient temperature. The chemical reaction is non-toxic to cells and occurs rapidly, preventing cell settlement before the gel is formed.

The 3-D Life Hydrogel components are made available as single reagents for the most individualized applications or for the extension of Hydrogel Kits or the replenishment of components in used kits. These are products containing either thioreactive polymers or thiol containing crosslinkers, which can be used to crosslink thioreactive polymers to form hydrogels.

Composition and properties are indicated in their names for easy component selection:

PVA or Dextran: Thioreactive PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a biochemically stable polymer providing long lasting hydrogel stability for long-term cell cultures. Thioreactive Dextran hydrogels can be enzymatically dissolved by Dextranase (see Accessories) for a protease-free cell recovery.

PEG, CD or Hyaluronic acid: Choose between a non-degradable (PEG-Link), a cell-degradable (CD-Link) or a hyaluronic acid-based (HyLink) crosslinker.

Fast-Gelling or Slow-Gelling: Choose between fast gelling (FG) and slow gelling (SG) thioreactive polymers to adapt the set-up of hydrogels to your experimental requirements.
