PeptiGel® Alpha 8™
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® Alpha 8™ is a ready-to-use fully synthetic negatively charged peptide hydrogel. PeptiGel® Alpha 8™ is biologically relevant, mimics the extracellular matrix and is suitable for the culture of a variety of cells, including hepatic cells.
PeptiGel® Alpha 8™ is highly consistent in mechanical stiffness (G’) and pore size, resulting in excellent reproducible results. Hence, PeptiGel® Alpha 8™ can be used for both in vitro and in vivo applications with physiologically and clinically relevant results.
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.
