Soluble collagen for flexible 3D hydrogels
Our Bovine Soluble Collagen can be used to generate hydrogels with different stiffness for 3D cultures.
- The gels represent an extracellular matrix analogue that enables spatial interactions of cells
- Ideal for studies on growth, proliferation and differentiation of various cell types
- Use for cell migration studies, e.g. in metastasis, wound healing or development
- Combine with other matrix components and growth factors

Collagen sponges to study spatial interactions
Our Collagen Sponges with their laminar porous structure provide a robust yet flexible scaffold for realistic spatial cell-cell interactions.
- Optimal growth conditions for complex 3D cultures
- Seeded cells spread inside the sponge within a few days
- Easy nutrient & factor exchange
- Monitor growth and differentiation by standard IF microscopy
- Broad range of applications in tissue development studies or tissue engineering

Collagen hydrogels to mimic body tissues
Our ready-to-use Collagen Hydrogels are ideal for the establishment of tissue culture models.
- The fiber network mimics the natural consistency of real body tissue
- Select stiffness grade according to desired body tissue firmness
- Authentic performance of cell lines & primary cells that infiltrate the hydrogel, generate 3D layers and express tissue markers
The following primary cells have been tested on our collagen membranes:
