VitroGel HEK293

Ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system for 3D culture of HEK293 cells.

 

VitroGel HEK293 is a xeno-free (animal origin-free) functional hydrogel system developed to support three-dimensional (3D) cultures of human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells.

Features

  • Simple 5-minute protocol.
  • High-quality 3D spheroids.
  • Easily scale up with flasks and bioreactors.
  • Easy cell harvesting protocol (Enzyme-free, No trypsin).

VitroGel HEK293 is a unique system to easily support the rapid 3D growth of HEK293 cells.  Cells directly thawed from liquid nitrogen or passaged from 2D culture vessels can be immediately mixed with the hydrogel solution for 3D static suspension cultures. Both our standard 3D cell culture protocol and the 3D static suspension culture protocols can be used for rapid cell expansion. The high-quality 3D spheroids enhance the cell performance for protein expression and downstream applications. HEK293 cells cultured in VitroGel HEK293 can easily be scale-up for large-scale bioreactors or spin flasks. By using the VitroGel Cell Recovery Solution, the cell harvesting after 3D culture is simple and effective.
