Cells Reagents

Simple linear channel for monoculture work. Use Linear Channels for studying cell/particle adhesion and cell-cell or cell-particle interactions at the micro-circulation scale. Use as a substitute for parallel plate flow chambers for >90% savings in consumables. 100μm + 250μm + 500μm wide channels, 100μm depth.

Microvascular networks for co-culture work (w/2D tissue compartment). 3 µm Height Barrier: 10µm Dia-50µm Separation, 100 µm Depth.

Fibroblast Inhibitory System (for 500 ml medium)

FGF2 DISCs are biocompatible hydrogels that release defined levels of native FGF2 stably into culture medium over the course of one week. Native FGF2 has a short half life (4 hours) and rapidly decays in cell culture media. Adding soluble FGF2 through daily, conventional commercial media feeds creates fluctuations in growth factor levels that affect signaling pathways and creates a stressful cellular environment. 

StemBeads® Blank15 is a microparticle containing all typical components of StemBeads® products except the protein. StemBeads® Blank15 are microbeads composed of an FDA approved, biodegradable PLGA-based polymer. The nature of StemBeads® Blank15 is to serve as a control for your experiments.

StemBeads Activin A is a patented growth factor supplement that offers a novel way to culture Activin A dependent cultures more efficiently, with greater control and fewer medium changes. Activin-A can be use to maintain pluripotent stem cells as well differentiate them to different lineages such as endoderm. StemBeads Activin A are microbeads composed of FDA approved, biodegradable PLGA polymer that is loaded with recombinant human Activin A. Under the microscope, StemBeads will appear as small dark spheres. Over time, they  break down while releasing the encapsulated protein at a controlled rate. Controlled delivery and stable levels of Activin A improve cell cultures while saving researchers valuable time and resources.
