GrowDex®-T is a transparent hydrogel that consists of nanofibrillar cellulose (1.0% w/v) and 99.0% purified water and is supplied ready to use. The transparent nature of GrowDex-T makes it ideal for use in microscopy applications as well as high content imagers. GrowDex-T is ready to use and can be mixed directly with cells and culture media, no gelation or cross-linking step required. Ambient handling and shear thinning prop…

GrowDex®-A is a transparent hydrogel that consists of avidin conjugated nanofibrillar cellulose (1.0% w/v) and 99.0% purified water that is supplied sterile GrowDex-A is ready to use: first mix with the desired biotinylated molecule e.g. proteins, peptides, antibiotics and then add cells and culture media, no gelation or cross-linking step required. Ambient handling and shear thinning properties of GrowDex-A enable easy dispen…

GrowDase™ is a purified mixture of cellulase enzymes that has been specifically developed to breakdown the nanofibrillar cellulose. The process is simple, enzyme is mixed with the sample and incubated at 37°C until the GrowDex has been degraded. Enzymatic removal allows cells to be recovered from the matrix efficiently, retain their 3D structure, e.g. spheroid or organoid in-tact and does not exhibit any adverse effect on cel…

GrowInk™-N bioink is an animal free, biocompatible, ready to use, room temperature stable hydrogel that can be mixed directly with cells for bioprinting applications. The bioink is manufactured from wood-based nanofibrillar cellulose and water, providing a fully defined matrix. The matrix can be customised by the addition of molecules, such as growth factors or adhesion proteins. GrowInk-N can be diluted to provide a wide rang…

GrowInk™-T bioink is an animal free, biocompatible, ready to use, room temperature stable hydrogel that can be mixed directly with cells for bioprinting applications offering superior imaging qualities. The bioink is manufactured from wood-based anionic nanofibrillar cellulose and water, providing a fully defined and clear matrix. The matrix can be customised by the addition of molecules, such as growth factors or adhesion pr…

GrowInk™-ALG bioink is an animal free, biocompatible, ready to use, room temperature stable hydrogel that can be mixed directly with cells for bioprinting applications. The bioink is manufactured from wood-based nanofibrillar cellulose, alginate and water, providing a fully defined matrix. The matrix can be customised by the addition of molecules, such as growth factors or adhesion proteins as needed. GrowInk-ALG can be dilut…
