Sphere Fluidics and ClexBio introduce CYTRIX Microfluidic Hydrogel Kit<\/h1>\/ in Product News<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/header>\n<\/div><\/section>

Sphere Fluidics, a company commercializing single cell analysis systems underpinned by its patented picodroplet technology, and ClexBio, a pioneer in solutions for tissue engineering and single-cell techniques, have launched a biocompatible CYTRIX Microfluidic Hydrogel Kit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kit combines ClexBio\u2019s novel CYTRIX Hydrogel with Sphere Fluidics\u2019 specially designed Pico-Gen\u2122 double aqueous biochip to allow the plug-andplay generation of defined, reproducible and tailorable hydrogel microstructures for 3D cell culture, organoids, single-cell analysis, and many other applications. This allows researchers to study valuable cells over many weeks rather than days in defined microenvironments that mimic the natural extracellular matrix.<\/p>\n

The CYTRIX Hydrogel overcomes the challenges of existing microfluidic hydrogel formation techniques, such as clogging, finicky temperature control or time-critical mixing procedures. It offers cytocompatibility and microfluidic-optimized gelation kinetics, providing researchers with a cell-friendly solution to reduce the effect of harmful temperatures, pH changes and use of UV-light required for existing hydrogel formation techniques. Paired with the Sphere Fluidics Pico-Gen double aqueous biochip and microfluidics, the CYTRIX Hydrogel enables efficient encapsulation of mammalian cells, bacteria, and other microorganisms in a homogeneous and defined extracellular matrix that supports cell viability.<\/p>\n

Dr. Xin Li, Associate Director of Science at Sphere Fluidics said: \u201cThe CYTRIX Microfluidic Hydrogel Kit mimics the 3D microenvironment and helps researchers explore the potential of hydrogel-based microfluidics in tissue engineering, drug discovery and regenerative medicine over many weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
