Tailor your 3D cell models for physiological relevance

RASTRUM’s tunable matrices allow you to create environments that you can control to more closely mimic the native tissue microenvironment. Adjust stiffness, adhesion peptides, and full-length proteins to suit your specific cell model needs. MMP-sensitive sites support natural cell-matrix remodeling for more accurate in vivo-like interactions. Customize each condition to optimize results across different cell types and research questions.

Ready for biology

Designed for biology, RASTRUM Matrices provide the reliability you need for robust experimental workflows. Permeable to antibodies, growth factors, and small molecules they support a wide range of research and screening applications. And our inert base, a non-functionalized gel layer printed at the bottom of the well, forms an inert barrier to prevent monolayer formation on the plastic service to enable your cell models to develop in a pure 3D environment.

Experience streamlined imaging with fully transparent matrices with no autofluorescence, perfect for high content screening. Enjoy effortless cell extraction and further analysis with matrices that dissolve with ease, simplifying your workflow.

Defined matrices for reliable results

RASTRUM Matrices use a synthetic polyethylene glycol backbone with known components to ensure consistent results every time. This xeno-free defined approach results in reliable reproducibility for your experiments, with no batch-to-batch variation. Designed for ease of use, these matrices simplify handling and implementation, helping to streamline your workflows.
