VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kit is a revolutionary tool for researchers to study the effect of both hydrogel properties and culture medium on angiogenesis process. The kit can be used to study the angiogenesis tube formation and invasion on both 2D hydrogel coating method and 3D cell culture method. The VitroGel® system is also good for animal injection for in vivo study.

Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves the growth of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. This process plays an important role in both normal developmental processes and numerous pathologies, including wound healing, tumor growth, and metastasis to inflammation and ocular disease.

Traditional angiogenesis assay highly relies on natural extracellular matrix (natural ECM), which has non-adjustable hydrogel compositions and properties.  Therefore, our understanding of the angiogenesis process is limited by studying the molecular cues such as growth factors and inhibitors in culture medium only. There is a lack of knowledge on how the properties of hydrogel affect the angiogenesis process.

There are two versions of VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kits:

• VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kit (Ready-To-Use):  Ready-to-use with a fixed hydrogel mechanical strength to support the angiogenesis assay with adjustable supplements
• VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay HC Kit (Cat No. TWG011-K):  Assay kit with a tunable high concentration hydrogel to allow full control of the hydrogel’s mechanical strength with adjustable supplements.

Depending on the kit type, the ready-to-use VitroGel® Angiogenesis Assay Kits can contain the following components:

• VitroGel® AAK, a xeno-free ready-to-use hydrogel.
• AAK Supplement 1, a hydrogel supplement without vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) for cell attachment and growth.
• AAK Supplement 2, a hydrogel supplement with VEGFs to promote tube formation and as a positive control.

The VitroGel® AAK hydrogel is room temperature stable and can be directly mixed with each supplement at 2:1 (v/v) ratio for hydrogel formation.  Researchers can adjust the hydrogel’s molecular cues by adding the growth factors/inhibitors directly to the supplements before mixing with the VitroGel® AAK hydrogel.  Cells cultured in this system can be harvested further easily with the VitroGel® Cell Recovery Solution.
