Description
Our product is a novel and unique hydrogel scaffold, named SupGel, for 3D cell culture, which is able to respond to biocompatible external stimulus (such as light and chemicals). Our team have full IP right for this product. Compared with traditional 2D cell culture dishes, SupGel mimics real in vivo environment of cells by providing the 3D hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel scaffold. Compared with existing 3D culture materials (from animal tissue sources) on the market, SupGel as a synthetic material has minimal batch-to-batch variation in composition and is easy-to-customize and cost-effective. The formation and dissolution of SupGel can be easily accomplished to achieve cell encapsulation and release, respectively. SupGel will be highly valuable to researchers working on stem cells/ cancer cells/ organoids/ immune cells and also drug discovery, tissue engineering and even clinical applications. SupGel has a good market potential in research sites like hospitals and diagnostic centers, biotech and pharmaceutical companies, universities and research institutes.
