VitroGel® ORGANOID
 
ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system for organoid culture

• Xeno-free hydrogel for organoid formation
• Supports a wide range of organoids from patient-derived samples, stem cells, tissues, co-culture and PDX resources
• Scalable protocol for lab automation
• Easy 20-minute cell harvesting (enzyme-free)
• VitroGel® ORGANOID (1-4) are xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogels that support the growth of patient-derived organoids or organoids developed from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), co-culture, and PDX model.

VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels are ready to use at room temperature and have a neutral pH, transparent, permeable, and compatible with different imaging systems. The solution transforms into a hydrogel matrix by simply mixing with the cell culture medium. VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels are good for both 3D cell culture and 2D hydrogel coating applications.

The VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels can work in conjunction with VitroGel® STEM (a xeno-free hydrogel for 3D static suspension cultures and scale-up of human pluripotent stem cells) by transferring stem cell spheroids cultured in VitroGel® STEM to VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels for organoid differentiation. See Xeno-free 3D Organoid Workflow B.  Key growth factors and molecules can be directly mixed with the hydrogel matrix or by adding on the top of the hydrogel. Organoids cultured in this system can be easily harvested out with our VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution.  VitroGel® ORGANOID hydrogels provide a well-defined 3D microenvironment for the future of personalized medicine.

Which organoid hydrogel to choose

We still strongly suggest starting with the VitroGel® ORGANOID Discovery Kit (Item # VHM04-K) to make a quick screening to find the hydrogel version that is optimal for the organoid conditions.

The kit includes all four types of organoid hydrogels:

VitroGel® ORGANOID-1, VitroGel® ORGANOID-2, VitroGel® ORGANOID-3, VitroGel® ORGANOID-4)

Each of the four types has various bio-functional ligands, mechanical strengths, and degradability to fulfill the needs of different organoid culture conditions.

Because there are a wide range of organoid cell resources (from stem cells, patient-derived tissue, co-culture, to PDX), it is hard to tell which organoid hydrogel would best perform the researcher’s experiment. Therefore, the Discovery Kit helps researchers to screen the four different formulations to determine the best organoid hydrogel version for the organoid conditions.

From our findings, versions 1, 2, or 3 are suitable for gastric organoids. Versions 1 or 3 are suitable for lung organoids. Versions 2 or 3 are suitable for brain organoids, and versions 3 or 4 are suitable for cancer organoids.

VitroGel® STEM
 
ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system for hPSCs 3D static suspension culture and scale-up

• Establish stem cell spheroids directly from liquid nitrogen (5 min protocol)
• High-quality 3D stem cells for differentiation and organoid formation
• Easy scale-up (from laboratory scale to industrial scale)
• Efficient cell harvesting or subculturing

VitroGel® STEM is a xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system developed to improve the performance of three-dimensional (3D) static suspension cultures and scale-up of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) to create a high-throughput system to model various tissue and disease states.

This hydrogel system is ready to use with an optimized formulation that fully supports the rapid expansion of high-quality 3D stem cell spheroids with pluripotent properties. hPSCs directly thawed from liquid nitrogen or passaged from 2D matrix coated culture vessels can be immediately mixed with the hydrogel solution for static suspension cultures. Moreover, the optimization protocol is ideal for time-sensitive experiments, as it does not require excessive medium exchanges, which can ultimately save on time and materials. This hydrogel system is compatible with most hPSC culture media and tissue culture vessels. Due to the unique static suspension culture procedure, the requirement for microcarriers for large-scale bioreactors is eliminated, making cell harvesting simple and effective. The 3D stem cell spheroids that are developed using this system can be used for further sub-cultures, patterned differentiations, organoid development, or re-establishing 2D culture morphologies.

“Just add cells” 5 min protocol. No matrix coating required.

VitroGel® STEM is ready-to-use. Just mix with your hPSCs. There is no laborious matrix coating required to maintain and expand your stem cells.

GelNest™ Matrix

GelNest™ Matrix is derived from mouse tumor tissue and contains extracellular matrix components such as laminin, type IV collagen, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and more. These components support cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation, providing signals for these processes. Additionally, they simulate the characteristics of the basement membrane in the physiological environment, enhancing the success rate and effectiveness of cell culture.

In addition to the matrix components, GelNest™ Matrix is rich in various growth factors. These growth factors promote cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration, mimicking cellular signaling pathways and interactions in the physiological environment. GelNest™ Matrix has a wide range of applications, particularly in tissue engineering, cell culture, and research. It can be used for organoid culture, stem cell differentiation, angiogenesis, migration or invasion assays, and in vivo tumor studies.

Storage and Operation Instructions

To store GelNest™ Matrix, it is recommended to keep it in a -20°C freezer until ready for use. Prior to initial use, thaw the gel and divide it into single-use portions. Store these portions in a -80°C freezer for a maximum of 2 years. Please note that GelNest™ Matrix Gel should not be stored in a frost-free freezer.

GelNest™ Matrix is in a liquid state at 4°C and transitions into a gel state at 37°C. It starts to solidify into a gel when the temperature exceeds 10°C. For optimal performance, it is advised to pre-chill the pipette tips and conduct the procedures on ice.

GelNest™ Matrix Quality Assurance

• The protein concentration is guaranteed to be between 8 - 20 mg / mL
• The gel formation performance remains stable
• There are no LDEV (Lactate Dehydrogenase Elevated Virus), bacteria, or mycoplasma present for a high safety performance
• The endotoxin level is < 10 EU / mL
• Tests for organ-like structures and stem cell culture have been successfully performed.
• Tests for angiogenesis, tumor invasion, and tumor formation have been successfully conducted
