What is SeedEZ?
Patent No. 9,334,473
Lena Biosciences offers a robust 3D cell culture system for routine, predictive testing in vitro.
SeedEZ is a three-dimensional cell culture scaffold made of randomly oriented, inert glass microfibers. The diameter of microfibers is carefully optimized for long-term cell growth and repeat-dose drug testing. The microfibers are arranged in such a way that creates tiny pores for nutrients, gases, and metabolites to pass through the scaffold allowing normal cell functions.
With a simple workflow and consistent composition, SeedEZ can be used with all cell types. SeedEZ enables the cells to utilize their cadherin (cell-to-cell) and integrin (cell-to-ECM) receptors which are vital for biomimetic functions of the engineered tissue.
Unlike soft hydrogel-based scaffolds, SeedEZ does not peel off the culture dish or get drawn into the pipette tip.
When compared to less porous and more rigid scaffolds, cells permeate SeedEZ readily.
