Post #ISSCR2025 product highlight series by LAB-A-PORTER
Alvetex® 3D Cell Culture Systems for tissue engineering from Reprocell
The journey from basic discoveries to clinical applications is often hampered by issues of reproducibility, predictability, and clinical relevance. Building robust in vitro and in vivo studies is essential for validating preclinical findings and ensuring their successful translation.
LAB-A-PORTER is committed to facilitating this by providing researchers globally with suitable reagents and tools. We support researchers on their preclinical research, from discovering drug targets and biomarkers to developing and testing in advanced in vitro and animal models, ultimately helping bridge the gap to clinical success.
In the following weeks, LAB-A-PORTER is going to showcase a series of products that have been highlighted in our booth at ISSCR 2025 Hong Kong, including tools for disease modelling, drug discovery, cell and gene therapy research and tissue engineering research.
This week, we are going to introduce one of our trusted supplier, Reprocell, and their Alvetex 3D Cell Culture Systems used in tissue engineering research.
Reprocell: Alvetex® 3D Cell Culture System for tissue engineering
The Alvetex® 3D cell culture scaffold is made of highly porous polystyrene – the same material used to make most disposable cell culture plasticware. After coating Alvetex with the extracellular matrix protein of your choice (optional), mammalian cells will adhere and grow on the surface of the device or within the porous matrix, depending upon the device and application.
Alvetex 3D cell culture systems enable cells to maintain their natural shape and to freely interact with neighbouring cells in 3D so that they function in a more physiologically relevant manner.
