Cytodex^® 3 Gamma Microcarriers

The microcarrier of choice for cells that are difficult to culture in vitro - particularly for cells with an epithelial-like morphology.

• Gamma-sterilized and ready to use for quick culture start-up.
• Delivered in a convenient, single-use container system for easy transfer to various cell culture vessels.
• Supplied dry to save storage space and facilitate transportation.
• Enable culturing of anchorage-dependent cells in single-use bioreactor to eliminate the need for cleaning and cleaning validation.
• Supported by extensive product documentation to facilitate regulatory filing.
• Serum-free function testing to ensure performance.

Successful serial subcultivation protocols
Cytodex 3 Gamma is designed by chemically coupling of a thin layer of denatured porcine collagen type 1 to the cross-linked dextran matrix. As the collagen surface layer can be digested by a variety of proteolytic enzymes, harvest of such cells from the microcarriers can be performed with maintained high cell viability and membrane integrity. This feature of Cytodex 3 Gamma is beneficial in the development of successful serial subcultivation protocols for scaling up culture volumes.
