Application | Col-Tgel is a tailorable 3D cell culture matrix for tumor cell, stem cell and primary cell. We provide soft, medium and stiff gel for your different cell types. It provides collagen backbone for cell attachment and allows customizing matrix components by additional extracellular matrix, growth factors, cytokines, and/or hormones for optimizing three dimensional cell culture. This product is for research use only. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unique Features |
Col-Tgel is a tailorable collagen-based, cell remodelable hydrogel system. It not only can be used a carrier for cell or drug delivery, but also in vitro cell culture platforms. Besides, it contains cell essential nutrients, and provides a stable and durable platform for long-term studies such as cell-cell, cell-matrix interactions, and etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
