Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.

Smart MCs Alginate Methacryloyl (AlgMA 150K) is a chemically defined, animal-origin-free (ACF) biomaterial engineered for creating scalable 3D cell culture environments. It addresses the challenge of creating physiologically relevant scaffolds by providing a robust hydrogel matrix that mimics native extracellular matrix cues. This supports high-density proliferation and differentiation in cultivated muscle and fat applications.

The 150K variant is optimised for lower viscosity, offering superior handling in bioprocessing compared to higher molecular weight alternatives. Its methacrylated backbone enables precise, light-mediated cross-linking, allowing for tunable mechanical properties and a highly uniform, xeno-free internal structure. This molecular weight provides a specific stiffness profile tailored for directed stem cell differentiation.

Validated across 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering workflows, AlgMA 150K demonstrates high cell viability and structural stability. Performance testing on mammalian cell lines confirms consistent doubling times and maintenance of target morphology during both expansion and maturation phases. The material is compatible with standard UV or visible light photoinitiators.

Supplied as a kit including LAP photoinitiator in light-protective bottles. The standard polymer-to-LAP ratio is 0.5 g AlgMA 150K per bottle with 0.025 g LAP. The material must be stored in a dark place to prevent degradation of reactive groups. Stable at room temperature for 3 months, 4 °C for 12 months, or -20 °C for up to 18 months.

Suitable for bovine, porcine, and avian cell cultivation from R&D to pilot-scale scaffold development. Its xeno-free composition supports alignment with ethical and food-safety standards.
