3DProSeed® Hydrogel Plate
The tool you need for 3D cell- based assays

Our 3DProSeed well plate  combines the advantages of hydrogel-based cultures with the

simplicity and workflow integration of standard polystyrene cultureware.

Our plate contains pre-assembled synthetic hydrogels, delivered to you hydrated, ready for cell seeding.

Hydrogel-based cultures have never been so

simple to establish.

3DProSeed StromaLine NEW

Our focus on the tumor-stroma interactions

​

​

Our new 3DProSeed ® StromaLine is an attractive collection of pre-developed and well characterized stromal models ideal for tumor-stroma interaction studies.  The ability to build a synthetic model of the stromal microenvironment in a high-content screening-compatible manner enables new discoveries in oncology. Anti-cancer drug screenings can be conducted in the presence of the stromal compartment with minimal adaptation efforts.

Application Highlight
