Nexture Bio’s Sponge Scaffolds provide a plant-based, animal-component-free matrix for three-dimensional cell growth in cultivated meat and tissue engineering applications. Manufactured from porous polysaccharides, each scaffold supports efficient cell infiltration, attachment, and proliferation, enabling the formation of structured tissues that closely resemble natural muscle architecture. The edible formulation allows seamless integration into end products, reducing waste and simplifying downstream processing.
The scaffolds are produced from biodegradable and renewable materials without synthetic additives, composites, or animal-derived inputs. Their high porosity and interconnected network facilitate nutrient diffusion and gas exchange, resulting in uniform cell distribution and viability throughout the culture. Independent tests confirm that the materials are safe and suitable for use in food, providing a clean, ethical alternative to collagen or synthetic scaffolds used in traditional bioprocessing.
Each scaffold is UVC-sterilised, validated by microbial and fungal growth assays, and supplied ready for immediate use. They are available in multiple disc sizes and can be tailored to specific research or process requirements. Stored at ambient temperature and protected from moisture, the scaffolds retain stability and performance over extended periods.
Nexture Bio’s Sponge Scaffolds are intended for research, pilot, and early production environments in cultivated meat development, compatible with a wide range of mammalian and fish cell types.
