PeptiGel® Gamma 2™

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 2™ is a ready-to-use fully synthetic positively charged peptide hydrogel. PeptiGel® Gamma 2™ is biologically relevant, mimics the extracellular matrix and is suitable for the culture of a variety of cells, including neuronal cells.
PeptiGel® Gamma 2™ is a softer hydrogel when compared to Alpha 2 but has consistent mechanical stiffness (G’) and pore size, resulting in excellent reproducible results. PeptiGel® Gamma 2™ can be used for both in-vitro and in-vivo applications with physiologically and clinically relevant results.
Case Studies
Tailored PeptiGel® properties mimic the mechanical and chemical environment of healthy and cancer tissue
Healthy tissue mimicking PeptiGel® Gamma 2 supports the growth of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma suit-2 cells.
