3D Cell Culture
![]() |
Culturing cells on flat plasticware results in artificial two-dimensional sheets of cells. Normal cells in the human body experience a three-dimensional environment, completely surrounded by other cells, membranes, fibrous layers and adhesion proteins. GIBCO® three-dimensional scaffolds reflect normal cell morphology & behavior for more realistic cell biology and function, in vivo-like morphology, and better intercellular interactions. For a comprehensive list of cells available for 3D cell culture visit the Cell Resource Center.

GIBCO® Collagen I
Collagen I, Rat Tail and Collagen I, Bovine for cell culture is a high quality form of collagen widely used in 3D applications and as coating solution. Collagen I is a heterotrimeric extracellular matrix protein found in the skin and other connective tissues.
CELLstart™
CELLstart™ is the first xeno-free substrate for attachment and expansion of human embryonic, mesenchymal, and neural stem cells that is fully-defined, has better lot-to-lot consistency and is produced under cGMP.
AlgiMatrix™
AlgiMatrix™ 3D Culture System is the first user friendly, animal-free Bioscaffold available for the development of higher fidelity cell culture models that are more predictive of disease states and drug responses. 3D cell culture that resembles in vivo conditions.
Cell Culture Matrices
| AlgiMatrix™ is a user friendly animal-free bioscaffold. Geltrex™ is a soluble form of basement membrane extract (BME). CELLstart™ is a defined, humanized substrate for hESC (human embryonic stem cell) culture. | |
