VitroGel® COL High Concentration
Overview
VitroGel® COL is a ready-to-use tunable hydrogel system modified with collagen-mimetic peptide (GFOGER). GFOGER specifically binds the integrin α2β1, promoting the osteoblastic differentiation in vitro and enhancing osteoblastic activity in vivo, which shows great potential for tissue engineering and regeneration medicine application.
Mix & Match – 3D Cell Culture Your WAY!
VitroGel® COL is one of the families of the xeno-free tunable VitroGel system. This hydrogel can mix with other versions of VitroGel such as VitroGel® IKVAV, VitroGel® YISGR, VitroGel® MMP and VitroGel® COL to create the customized multi-functional hydrogel. Using this flexible and powerful hydrogel system, scientists get full control to manipulate the micro-environment for 3D cell culture and more!
VitroGel closely mimics the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environment, creating a functional and optimized environment to make cells feel like at home. The hydrogel system is ready-to-use at room temperature, has a neutral pH, transparent, permeable and compatible with different imaging systems. The hydrogel strength can be adjusted with VitroGel® Dilution Solution. The solution transforms into a hydrogel matrix by simply mixing with the cell culture medium. Cells cultured in this system can be easily harvested out with our VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution. The hydrogel can also be tuned to be injectable for in vivostudies.
From 3D cell culture, 2D cell coating to animal injection, VitroGel makes it possible to bridge the in vitro and in vivo studies with the same platform system.

Rheological properties of VitroGel COL with DMEM medium. A) The gel formation curve after mixing with DMEM medium. VitroGel COL was diluted at 1:0,1:1 and 1:3 (v/v) with VitroGel Dilution Solution (Type 1) and then mix with DMEM at 4:1 (v/v) ratio. B) The gel strength after 24 hrs incubation. The hydrogel was prepared as method A and incubated at 37C CO2 incubator for 24 hrs before the rheological test.
