VitroGel ORGANOID
Ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system for organoid culture.
VitroGel ORGANOID (1-4) are xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogels that support the growth of patient-derived organoids or organoids developed from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), co-culture, and PDX model.
Features
- Xeno-free hydrogel for organoid formation.
- Supports a wide range of organoids from patient-derived samples, stem cells, tissues, co-culture and PDX resources.
- Operation protocol at room temperature, automation-friendly.
- Easy 20-minute cell harvesting (enzyme-free).
VitroGel ORGANOID hydrogels are ready to use at room temperature and have a neutral pH, transparent, permeable, and compatible with different imaging systems. The solution transforms into a hydrogel matrix by simply mixing with the cell culture medium. VitroGel ORGANOID hydrogels are good for both 3D cell culture and 2D hydrogel coating applications.
The VitroGel ORGANOID hydrogels can work in conjunction with VitroGel STEM (a xeno-free hydrogel for 3D static suspension cultures and scale-up of human pluripotent stem cells) by transferring stem cell spheroids cultured in VitroGel STEM to VitroGel ORGANOID hydrogels for organoid differentiation. See Xeno-free 3D Organoid Workflow B Key growth factors and molecules can be directly mixed with the hydrogel matrix or by adding on the top of the hydrogel. Organoids cultured in this system can be easily harvested out with our VitroGel Cell Recovery Solution. VitroGel ORGANOID hydrogels provide a well-defined 3D microenvironment for the future of personalized medicine.

Methodology
VitroGel Organoid Culture Methods
VitroGel ORGANOID system can culture organoids in variety of methods:
3D DOME | 2D DOME | 2D Hydrogel Coating | 3D Cell Encapsulation | 3D Hydrogel-Cell Droplet
Review all the following VitroGel ORGANOID protocol that best fits your project.
3D Dome Method
Widely used method for organoid generation.
2D Dome Method
Add cells on top of the hydrogel dome for organoid-gel-medium interactions.
2D Hydrogel Coating Method
Add cells on top of hydrogel for optimal interactions among cells, hydrogel, and medium.
3D Cell Encapsulation Method
Encapsulate cells within the hydrogel for excellent mechanical support and the cell-matrix interactions.
3D Hydrogel-Cell Droplet Method
Create a Hydrogel-Cell droplet. This is a unique culture method only to the VitroGel system for generating great cell-matrix interactions and excellent medium penetration for organoid formation and scale-up.
