| Product Description | The PVA (Mal)-based CD-Link Hydrogel Kit provides reagents for setting up fast gelling, cell-compatible hydrogels. Its major components are maleimide-functionalized polyvinyl alcohol (Mal-PVA) and the crosslinker CD-Link. When the two reagents are combined, thiol groups on CD-Link form stable thioether bonds with maleimide groups on Mal-PVA, which results in the formation of the gel. Prior to the crosslinking step, cell adhesion peptides can be covalently attached to a portion of the maleimide groups of Mal-PVA to provide a cell-adhesive matrix. |
| Application | 3-D cell cultures |
| Components | Mal-PVA, lyophilized: 170 µL*, 30 mmol/L* CD-Link, lyophilized: 200 µL*, 20 mmol/L* 10x CB (pH 5.5): 200 µL Water: 2 x 1500 µL |
| Note | Allows formation of up to 2 mL PVA(Mal)-based CD-Link Hydrogel depending on the stiffness of the gel. |
