What are some general differences between Gibco Geltrex Matrix, collagen, AlgiMatrix 3D Culture System, and CTS Cellstart Substrate? Product FAQ

Answer

Gibco Geltrex Matrix and collagen (rat tail and bovine) can be used as either a coating solution or a 3D gel matrix. CELLstart Substrate was developed to be used as a xeno-free coating matrix for only ESC applications (as a substitute for Gibco Geltrex Matrix or Matrigel Matrix, which are of animal origin). AlgiMatrix Matrix is a 3D scaffold-type matrix that does not support cell attachment but does provide a good environment for growing spheroids that can be easily harvested for downstream applications.

What is the main application for the Ready-to-Use Gibco Geltrex Matrix? Product FAQ

Answer

Ready-to-Use Gibco Geltrex Matrix provides only a coating for cell attachment and was developed mainly for ESC and iPSC use. Because the protein concentration is not high enough, it should not be used for thick gel or 3D applications.
