  • Dilution Solution TYPE 1 contains sucrose for best osmolarity 
  • Dilution Solution TYPE 2 is a sucrose-free formulation for cells sensitive to the sugar level in the medium 

VitroGel® RGD High Concentration is a tunable, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system modified with cell adhesive peptide RGD to promote cell attachment and cell-matrix interactions during the 3D cell culture. VitroGel® RGD 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.

  • Type 1 - Full Kit (Hydrogel+Supplements): VitroGel AAK (2 mL), AAK Supplement 1 (500 µL), AAK Supplement 2 (500 µL)
  • Type 2 - Full Kit (Hydrogel+Supplements): VitroGel AAK (2 mL), AAK Supplement 1 (2 x 500 µL)
  • Type 3 - Full Kit (Hydrogel+Supplements): VitroGel AAK (2 mL), AAK Supplement 2 (2 x 500 µL)

VitroGel Angiogenesis Assay Kit
  • Xeno-free hydrogel system supporting angiogenesis process
  • Multiple applications in one kit:  Tube formation, invasion, and animal injection
  • Control the hydrogel properties:  Add your own growth factors and compare with positive control
  • Easy, efficient, and enzyme-free cell harvesting in 20 minutes

VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kit is a revolutionary tool for researchers to study the effect of both hydrogel properties and culture medium on angiogenesis process. The kit can be used to study the angiogenesis tube formation and invasion on both 2D hydrogel coating method and 3D cell culture method. The VitroGel® system is also good for animal injection for in vivo study.

Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves the growth of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. This process plays an important role in both normal developmental processes and numerous pathologies, including wound healing, tumor growth, and metastasis to inflammation and ocular disease.

Traditional angiogenesis assay highly relies on natural extracellular matrix (natural ECM), which has non-adjustable hydrogel compositions and properties.  Therefore, our understanding of the angiogenesis process is limited by studying the molecular cues such as growth factors and inhibitors in culture medium only. There is a lack of knowledge on how the properties of hydrogel affect the angiogenesis process.


There are two versions of VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kits:

  • VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kit (Ready-To-Use):  Ready-to-use with a fixed hydrogel mechanical strength to support the angiogenesis assay with adjustable supplements
  • VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay HC Kit (Cat No. TWG011-K):  Assay kit with a tunable high concentration hydrogel to allow full control of the hydrogel’s mechanical strength with adjustable supplements.


Depending on the kit type, the ready-to-use VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kits can contain the following components:

  • VitroGel® AAK, a xeno-free ready-to-use hydrogel.
  • AAK Supplement 1, a hydrogel supplement without vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) for cell attachment and growth.
  • AAK Supplement 2, a hydrogel supplement with VEGFs to promote tube formation and as a positive control.

The VitroGel® AAK hydrogel is room temperature stable and can be directly mixed with each supplement at 2:1 (v/v) ratio for hydrogel formation.  Researchers can adjust the hydrogel’s molecular cues by adding the growth factors/inhibitors directly to the supplements before mixing with the VitroGel® AAK hydrogel.  Cells cultured in this system can be harvested further easily with the VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution.

VitroGel® ORGANOID
 

ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system for organoid culture

  • Xeno-free hydrogel for organoid formation
  • Supports a wide range of organoids from patient-derived samples, stem cells, tissues, co-culture and PDX resources
  • Scalable protocol for lab automation
  • Easy 20-minute cell harvesting (enzyme-free)
  • VitroGel® ORGANOID (1-4) are xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogels that support the growth of patient-derived organoids or organoids developed from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), co-culture, and PDX model.

VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels are ready to use at room temperature and have 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. VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels are good for both 3D cell culture and 2D hydrogel coating applications.

The VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels can work in conjunction with VitroGel® STEM (a xeno-free hydrogel for 3D static suspension cultures and scale-up of human pluripotent stem cells) by transferring stem cell spheroids cultured in VitroGel® STEM to VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels for organoid differentiation. See Xeno-free 3D Organoid Workflow B.  Key growth factors and molecules can be directly mixed with the hydrogel matrix or by adding on the top of the hydrogel. Organoids cultured in this system can be easily harvested out with our VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution.  VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels provide a well-defined 3D microenvironment for the future of personalized medicine.


Which organoid hydrogel to choose

We still strongly suggest starting with the VitroGel® ORGANOID Discovery Kit (Item # VHM04-K) to make a quick screening to find the hydrogel version that is optimal for the organoid conditions.

The kit includes all four types of organoid hydrogels:

VitroGel® ORGANOID-1, VitroGel® ORGANOID-2, VitroGel® ORGANOID-3, VitroGel® ORGANOID-4)

Each of the four types has various bio-functional ligands, mechanical strengths, and degradability to fulfill the needs of different organoid culture conditions.

Because there are a wide range of organoid cell resources (from stem cells, patient-derived tissue, co-culture, to PDX), it is hard to tell which organoid hydrogel would best perform the researcher’s experiment. Therefore, the Discovery Kit helps researchers to screen the four different formulations to determine the best organoid hydrogel version for the organoid conditions.

From our findings, versions 1, 2, or 3 are suitable for gastric organoids. Versions 1 or 3 are suitable for lung organoids. Versions 2 or 3 are suitable for brain organoids, and versions 3 or 4 are suitable for cancer organoids.
