VitroGel® offers a defined synthetic hydrogel system that closely mimics the natural ECM environment, free of animal or human components. This system enables researchers to control mechanical strength, functional ligands, and degradability, creating precise biomimetic environments tailored for applications in drug discovery, tissue engineering, and cell therapy.
In contrast, animal-based ECMs suffer from batch-to-batch inconsistency and contain over 2,000 undefined components, highlighting the superior consistency and defined nature of the VitroGel® system for advanced biomedical research and development.
Closely mimicking the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environment, this distinct hydrogel system brings many advantages to bridge in vitro and in vivo studies through 3D cell culture and beyond.
