HyStem®-C Hydrogel Kits - The starter matrix.

• Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid + Gelatin Kit
• Ideal for 3D cell culture

HyStem®-C Hydrogels - The starter matrix. Good starter kit with incorporated collagen binding sites. Components include Thiol-modified hyaluronan (Gycosil®), PEGDA (Extralink®), Thiol-modified gelatin (Gelin-S®), and degassed, deionized water (DG Water).

HyStem®-C hydrogels provide an excellent starting point for optimizing the matrix for cell culture. HyStem-C is fully chemically-defined and based on three biocompatible components: thiol-modified hyaluronan (Glycosil), thiol-reactive crosslinker, PEGDA (Extralink), and thiol-modified denatured collagen (Gelin-S®). Gelin-S provides basic cell-attachment sites for a wide variety of primary cells and cell lines and is therefore recommended as an ideal substrate for adherent cell types and for cell culture optimization. In some cases, HyStem-C hydrogels can be further enhanced by the addition of ECM proteins to match native signals.
