PeptiGel® Gamma 4 PLUS™
Synthetic Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogels
PeptiGels® are ready-to-use fully synthetic self-assembling peptide hydrogels that are biologically relevant and formulated to meet your cells’ needs. PeptiGels® are used for 2D and 3D cell culture and are specifically designed with a range of mechanical properties and chemical functionalities to mimic the native cellular micro-environment to allow the growth of any cell type.
Product Description
PeptiGel® Gamma 4 PLUS™ is a ready-to-use fully synthetic positively charged peptide hydrogel functionalized with fibronectin (RGD) and collagen (GFOGER) motifs, mimicking the extracellular matrix more closely and encouraging better cellular adhesion.
PeptiGel® Gamma 4 PLUS™ is suitable for the culture of a wide variety of cells, including primary cells, immortalized cells and stem cells. By offering enhanced cellular adhesion and cell-ECM signaling PeptiGel® Gamma 4 PLUS™ is also suitable for the culture of spheroids and organoids.
PeptiGel® Gamma 4 PLUS™ is half the mechanical strength of Alpha 4™, highly consistent hydrogel in mechanical stiffness (G’) and pore size, resulting in excellent reproducible results for both in-vitro and in-vivo applications.
Value Starter Pack
When beginning to work with PeptiGels®, we recommend purchasing our Value Starter Pack. This includes PeptiGel® to test with your cells to enable you to identify the most suitable matrix environment. The Pack also includes a Gilson positive displacement pipette (various sizes are available), a box of sterile tips and a pack of Greiner Thincerts. Contact us for additional information.
