3D Cell Culture Plate LifeGel™

LifeGel for 3D cell culture comes as a ready-to-use plate containing a protein-based hydrogel. Cells seeded on the surface of LifeGel can form three-dimensional structures such as spheroids.  LifeGel has many advantageous properties compared with competitors...

Feature of LifeGel™

  • Protein-based
  • Batch to batch repeatable
  • Defined hydrogel stiffness
  • Easily digestible
  • Customisable for different cells and assays
  • Supply for small and large users
  • Compatible with standard imaging platforms
  • Growth factor free

Defined gelatine fraction cross-linked within assay wells, and supplied ready for surface cell seeding.

Xvivo System maintains ISO5(Class100) environment

⇢ Surface stiffness stimulates cells to different morphologies
⇢ Spheroids created on the surface have equal access to tested drugs

Techniques Applicable for Use with LifeGel™

Cell imaging with professional equipment like for example: JuLI™ Stage, Celloger™ or Opera

  • Long term cell culture e.g. three weeks
  • Easy cell harvesting due to simple to use enzymatic digestion kit – for cell passaging, cell counting or any other experiments where access to cells is necessary
  • Readout your assay on standard plate reader, for example measure viability with CellTiter-Blue® or CellTiter-Glo®
  • Immunohistochemistry staining (IHC) Compatible with many types of automatic pipetting equipment
  • No prior preparation – just ready to use plates
  • We have already created multiple applications and see many more possibilities!

Spheroid formation on the different types of LifeGel™

LifeGel optimised for PANC-1 cell line. Five types of LifeGel were observed to result in different morphology of PANC-1 cells. Physical interaction of cells with various LifeGels caused changes in gene expression profiles and therefore changed morphology of cells.

IC50s for several drugs have been compared in 2D versus 3D cell culture using PANC-1 cells. As commonly observed, 3D cell cultures show less sensitivity to drugs than 2D cell cultures.

Comparable data has been obtained in 384-well LifeGel™ plates (Z’ values 0.7 +/- 0.1). Different assays may be multiplexed, including DNA quantitation.
