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.

Specially designed 12-well plate scaffold “inserts” made from pharmaceutical grade polycaprolactone + poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PCL:PLGA) offer cell culture conditions for short-to-medium durations. Perfectly tailored for the cultivation of complex systems like cell microenvironments, tissue regeneration, and organoids, 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.

Features

  • 3D architecture with a substantial available surface area.
  • Minimal modifications required for transitioning from 2D to 3D culture.
  • Stable mechanical properties.
  • 12 scaffold inserts of desirable sizes for the respective well plate.
  • 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.
