Simplify 3D Cell Culture Automation with VitroGel®
Integrating advanced 3D cell models—such as organoids and tumoroids—with lab automation is revolutionizing how researchers approach complex biological systems. This integration streamlines workflows, reduces human error, and improves the reproducibility of handling delicate, high-value models.
However, automating cell culture with animal-based extracellular matrices (ECMs) like Matrigel present significant challenges to automation:
❌ Temperature-sensitive and difficult to handle
❌ Prone to batch variability
❌ Incompatible with most automation system
❌ Biologically undefined, limiting reproducibility
These challenges make high-throughput screening and large-scale 3D cultures time-consuming and inconsistent
The VitroGel® Advantage for 3D Cell Culture Automation
VitroGel® is a xeno-free, easy-to-use, automation-friendly hydrogel system that addresses the limitations of traditional ECMs and provides a streamlined path to automated 3D cell culture.
Stable at room temperature. Easy handling, no unexpected gelation as seen in animal-based ECM.
Xeno-free and Synthetic. 100% animal/human origin-free hydrogel system. Ensures batch-to-batch consistency.
Excellent cell retention. No pipette tip clogging issues.
Long-term injectable status after gelation ensuring accurate pipetting and transfer of hydrogel.
VitroGel® hydrogel is fully compatible with a wide range of high-throughput equipment, making your automated workflows seamless and efficient.
