NOVAMATRIX-3D™

NOVAMATRIX-3D™

Whether you are investigating cancer pathways, studying stem cells, or developing personalized tissue models, NOVAMATRIX-3D™ cell culture can power your research.

NOVAMATRIX-3D™ is an animal-free 3D cell culture system for efficient cell seeding and enzyme-free cell release.  NOVAMATRIX-3D™ is a 24-well plate with alginate-based foams that are engineered from sustainably grown seaweed. The animal-free foams are highly porous, allowing excellent cell seeding in a 3D-environment and promoting cell growth and interaction. The alginate-based system allows for enzyme-free release of cells, enabling gentle cell detachment without compromising viability. NOVAMATRIX-3D™ is sterilized and manufactured from high quality materials, providing a controlled environment for highly advanced research.
