Brand: Alvetex™

Manufacturer: REPROCELL®

Cells grown in Alvetex maintain their in vivo morphology, behaviour and responsiveness within an in vitro model system. Alvetex 3D cell culture systems enable cells to maintain their natural shape and to freely interact with neighbouring cells in 3D so that they function in a more physiologically relevant manner.

Alvetex 3D Cell Culture Systems are built around scaffold discs comprised of highly porous polystyrene – the same material used to make most disposable cell culture plasticware. After coating Alvetex with the extracellular matrix protein of your choice (optional), mammalian cells will adhere and grow on the surface of the device or within the porous matrix, depending upon the device and application.

Also built around Alvetex Scaffold, the Alvetex Advanced Tissue Bioengineering System is designed for scientists who need biologically relevant, reproducible models such as skin for testing pharmaceuticalscosmeticschemicals, and devices.

The Alvetex Scaffold modular insert containing Alvetex Scaffold membrane (AVP022) is designed for tissue bioengineering. The Alvetex Scaffold membrane is housed within a specially designed insert providing a tight seal around its perimeter, enabling the construction of tight tissue models and barrier testing.

Packs contain multiple units of 6 × Alvetex Advanced 15 mm modular inserts inside a 6-well holder with lid. Each unit is sterile blister packed.


Handles for Alvetex Advanced Inserts
