VitroGel® YIGSR High Concentration
Laminin-derived functional peptide (YIGSR) modified – tunable, xeno-free hydrogel, high concentration (3 mL kit)
VitroGel YIGSR High Concentration
VitroGel® YIGSR High Concentration is a tunable, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system modified with laminin-derived functional peptide (YIGSR). YIGSR sequence resides on the laminin β1 chain, which involves endothelial cell adhesion, cell proliferation and motility/migration. VitroGel YIGSR High Concentration comes with VitroGel Dilution Solution to adjust the final hydrogel strength from 10 to 4000 Pa.
VitroGel High Concentration hydrogels are our xeno-free, tunable hydrogels for researchers wanting full control to manipulate the biophysical and biological properties of the cell culture environment. The tunability of the hydrogel gives the ability to create an optimized environment for cell growth. The hydrogel system has a neutral pH, transparent, permeable and compatible with different imaging systems. The solution transforms into a hydrogel matrix by simply mixing with the cell culture medium. No cross-linking agent is required. Cells cultured in this system can be easily harvested with our VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution. The hydrogel can also be tuned to be injectable for in vivo studies.
From 3D cell culture, 2D cell coating to animal injection, VitroGel makes it possible to bridge the in vitro and in vivo studies with the same platform system.
Mix & Match – 3D Cell Culture Your WAY!
Unique to VitroGel High Concentration hydrogels is the ability to tailor create a multi-functional hydrogel by blending different types of VitroGel. VitroGel® YIGSR can be “mix & matched” with other versions of VitroGel such as VitroGel® RGD, VitroGel® IKVAV, VitroGel® MMP and VitroGel® COL to create the customized multi-functional hydrogel. Using this flexible and powerful hydrogel system, scientists can tailor create their 3D culture micro-environment for different applications.
