RocketCell™ Apical-out Intestinal Organoid Xeno-Free Growth Kit
All-in-one, xeno-free kit for growth expansion and passaging of intestinal organoids with apical-out polarity.
Apical-Out Intestinal Organoid Generation
Designed to generate apical-out organoids, enabling direct access to the apical surface while maintaining stability.
Fully Xeno-Free and Chemically Defined System
Eliminates all animal-derived components and reduces batch-to-batch variability.
Fast and Easy-to-use
Reduces media preparation time since it is ready-to-use. User-friendly protocol to follow.
Long-term Maintenance of Apical-out Polarity
Supports long-term intestinal organoid culture while maintaining apical-out polarity.
Improves Organoid Survival and Growth
Supports initial intestinal organoid survival, maintains high post-passaging viability and consistent culture renewal.
Scalable and Automation-Friendly
Compatible with multiwell plates and high-throughput assays.
RocketCell™ Apical-Out Intestinal Organoid Growth Kit is a complete solution for generating mature apical-out intestinal organoids in a fully xeno-free environment. The kit includes three ready-to-use media formulations for initiation and maintenance, along with VitroGel® ORGANOID-5, a synthetic hydrogel.
Organoid polarity is critical for physiological relevance. Conventional systems using animal-derived matrices (e.g., Matrigel) produce apical-in organoids, limiting access to the apical surface and restricting studies of nutrient uptake, drug response, and host–microbiome interactions. Alternative methods to reverse polarity often compromise structural integrity and function. This kit is specifically designed to generate apical-out organoids, enabling direct access to the apical surface while maintaining stability.
