Logo of Gelatex Technologies, manufacturer of Gelacell 3D nanofibrous scaffolds

Description

Gelacell™ is a unique, 3D microfibrous scaffold specifically engineered for advanced in vitro 3D cell culture and tissue engineering applications. Designed as a non-woven, highly porous scaffold, Gelacell™ offers exceptional biocompatibility and non-toxicity across a variety of cell types.

Gelacell™ nanofibrous scaffolds are available in a variety of materials and formats.

This variant of Gelacell™ is specially designed for medium-to-long term cell culture durations. Scaffolds made from pharmaceutical grade poly-L-lactide (PLLA) fibers spun in an aligned manner are fixed to cell crowns in a 6-well plate. The cell crowns act as Boyden chambers for facilitating studies related to air-liquid interface culture, co-culture, complex tissue models, etc. Gelacell™ also makes a robust platform for drug screening and other cell culture investigations. The optimized design of the scaffold ensures thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability, while also providing substantial swelling capabilities and porosity, allowing efficient nutrient diffusion and thereby preventing cellular waste build up.

The aligned fibers in the scaffold provide a structured pathway for cell orientation and growth. This feature is particularly beneficial for specialized cell cultures requiring directional tissue development.

Features

  • 3D architecture with a substantial available surface area.
  • 6 well plate with cell crowns.
  • Minimal modifications required for transitioning from 2D to 3D culture.
  • Stable mechanical properties.
  • Scaffold fixed in a cell crown acting as Boyden chamber for complex culture.
  • Flexibility of scaffolds facilitates easy handleability.
  • Porous structure promotes cell migration and efficient diffusion of nutrients, solutes, and gases.
  • Compatibility with a variety of cell lines and culture conditions.
  • Polymeric scaffolds: biocompatibility, diversity, and widely accepted in cellular applications.
  • Sterilized by Gamma irradiation and remains sterile until the pack is opened.
  • Storage at room temperature.
