VitroGel® Ready-To-Use Hydrogels
User-friendly, xeno-free functional hydrogel for 3D cell culture research. The hydrogel is room temperature stable, has a neutral pH, transparent, permeable and compatible with different imaging systems. Optimized formulations for multiple applications for organoids, stem cell spheroids, invasion assay, angiogenesis assay, and more.
JUST ADD CELLS: Each ready-to-use VitroGel can mixed with cell suspension directly. Read more.
VitroGel® High Concentration Hydrogels
Hydrogels offer a set of building blocks to create a functional micro-environment that closely mimics the natural ECM. The tunability of the hydrogel gives the ability to create an optimized environment for cell growth.
- Simply mixing with the cell culture medium
- No cross-linking agent is required
- Cells cultured can be easily harvested
- The hydrogel is also injectable for in vivo studies
Choose hydrogels with functional ligands such as RGD, collagen, laminin and MMP.
“Mix & Match” Unique to the VitroGel system is the ability to customized multi-functional hydrogel by blending different types of VitroGel together. Read more

Serum, media and other reagents for cell culture
We offer a broad range of high quality sera (human, FBS, other species), and also high quality serum-free systems and serum supplements from PAN-Biotech. PAN- Biotech provides different media and special media (cell specific media, insect media, stem cell media), as well as supplements, antibiotics and other reagents for cell culture.
Various growth factors, small molecules and other reagents for cell differentiation are available from ReproCELL Group Company under brands of Stemolecule™, Stemgent® and Koken®. AcroBiosystems ActiveMax® cytokines are produced in human cells without substances of animal or human origin which makes them especially suitable for human cell culture.
ReproCELL Group offers also a wide range of products for 3D cell culture. For example the Alvetex Scaffold and Strata 3D cell culture scaffolds made of highly porous polystyrene. The Alvetex® are easy to use and compatible with common cell culture plates.
