Explore 3D Tissue Environments with Solid Synthetic Scaffold Models

Mimic a broad range of 3D tissue microenvironments using solid synthetic scaffold models. Because synthetic scaffolds are devoid of animal-derived materials, they are free of potential pathogens and other issues found with biologic products.

Polymers are a common choice for generating solid scaffolds of diverse size, structure, and porosity. They can be fabricated using lithography, electrospinning, bioprinting and, in the case of permeable supports, microporous membranes. For studies where endogenous factors are required to more realistically mimic the cellular in vivo environment, they can be combined with extracellular matrices (ECMs) as a coating to create effective complex matrices for 3D cell culture.

Organotypic Tissue Models

Organotypic Tissue Models

Organotypic Tissue Models

Developed for a variety of tissues, including skin, liver, stomach, kidney, and lung, organotypic models display a realistic micro-anatomy, mimic organ function, and offer insight into cell-to-cell interactions.
