VitroGel® vs. Animal-Based ECMs

A comprehensive comparison on key features, operation, application, and storage conditions.

Start with the end in mind.

VitroGel® offers a defined synthetic hydrogel system that closely mimics the natural ECM environment without animal or human components. This system gives researchers control over mechanical strength, functional ligands, and degradability, allowing for the creation of precise biomimetic environments tailored for various 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.
