What is LunaGel™
Photocrosslinkable Extracellular Matrix?
The major components of LunaGel™ include the ECM proteins collagen type I, III, IV, and V, as well as connective tissue glycoproteins and proteoglycans. LunaGel™ retains the intrinsic cell-instructive bioactivity of natural ECMs facilitating cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and proteolytic degradation. LunaGel™’s unique photocrosslinking technology allows unprecedented control over matrix porosity and stiffness, allowing researchers to replicate the physicochemical properties of a variety of healthy and diseased tissues in 3D cell culture applications.
LunaGel™ ECM has been successfully used in a wide range of applications including cell attachment and proliferation, stem cell culture and differentiation, mechanotransduction assays, cancer spheroid assays, angiogenesis assays, 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering, and more.
LunaGel™ is supplied as a sterile solution with freeze-dried photoinitiator. Available as Low Stiffness (0 - 6.5 kPa) and High Stiffness kit (0 - 25 kPa). Reconstitute the photoinitiator in PBS, mix with LunaGel™ ECM and cells, and photocrosslink the solution using the Luna Crosslinker™ to form 3D cell culture models. By controlling the duration of light exposure you can produce hydrogels with a specified stiffness. Add your favourite culture media and you're culturing in 3D!
How
LunaGel™ X-Pure ECM works?
This premium biomaterial is ideal for 3D bioprinting, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering owing to its guaranteed ultra-low impurity levels, batch to batch consistency and tunable mechanical properties. As a result, X-Pure GelMA can reduce the development time between bench and bedside, for pharmaceuticals, medical devices and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP).
