HyStem® Hydrogels - The blank-slate matrix. Completely customizable and xeno-free. Components include Thiol-modified hyaluronan (Gycosil®), Thiol-reactive PEGDA crosslinker (Extralink®), and degassed, deionized water (DG Water).
The HyStem Hydrogel Kits are optimal for culturing stem cells whose natural environment is rich in hyaluronic acid (HA). HyStem hydrogels can be customized by adding extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins or cell attachment peptides into the hydrogel to provide attachment site and/or differentiation signals. They can also be varied by changing the hydrogel rigidity to match that of the native cell environment. The HyStem hydrogel system is viable for cell culture in any format, from T-flasks and tissue culture inserts to 384-well microplates.
