Description
Key Features
- Reusable and durable: made of high-quality PDMS, suitable for multiple uses without deformation.
- Biocompatible: safe for direct hydrogel and cell contact; ideal for in situ culture applications.
- Two-layer cavity design: lower cavity (2.5 × 1.5 cm) for hydrogel gelation (up to 400 µL); upper cavity holds up to 1.5 mL of medium.
- Easy sterilization: can be disinfected by ethanol soaking or autoclaving.
- Petri dish compatible: fits 3–4 molds per standard dish, convenient for parallel experiments.
- Customizable: mold size, depth, and shape can be tailored upon request.
Typical Applications
- Hydrogel gelation and crosslinking (e.g., GelMA, HAMA, collagen, alginate)
- Cell encapsulation and in situ 3D culture
- Tissue-on-chip and organoid model fabrication
- Hydrogel-based drug screening and biomaterial testing
