Introduction
Nexture Bio’s animal-component-free, plant-based sponge scaffolds are designed for 3D cell culture to support research, bioprocessing, and product development.
Description
Sterile-packaged and made from plant-based polysaccharides, these porous scaffolds promote excellent cell infiltration, attachment, and proliferation, making them ideal for cultivated meat, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and other anchorage-dependent cell culture systems. The sponge scaffolds are free from animal-derived components, safe and suitable for use in food, and formulated from natural materials, offering a clean, ethical, and sustainable alternative to traditional collagen or synthetic scaffolds.
Advantages
- Animal-Component-Free: ACF to align with trending regulatory perspectives, ethical impacts, and applicable across food, pharma, and biotech markets.
- 100% Plant-Based: Manufactured from biodegradable, renewable materials with no synthetic additives or animal-derived inputs.
- Biocompatible & Versatile: Supports robust cell attachment and 3D tissue formation for a range of cell types.
- Safe and Suitable for Use in Food: Facilitates seamless scale-up from R&D to consumer-facing products.
