Cellendes 3-D Life CD-HyLink MMP-degradable thiol-modified hyaluronic acid-peptide conjugate hydrogel crosslinker component (3 x 200 ul) DESCRIPTION CD-HyLink is a component of the 3-D Life Hydrogel system CD-HyLink consists of hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan) carrying thiol groups along its backbone When combined with SG-Dextran of the 3-D Life system thiol groups on CD-HyLink form stable thioether bonds with the thiol-reactive groups on the polymer which results in formation of the hydrogel CD-HyLink contains an MMP-cleavable peptide sequence which allows cells to locally degrade the hydrogel Note Dextran hydrogels crosslinked with CD-HyLink cannot be dissolved by the addition of dextranase APPLICATION CD-HyLink is used together with thiol-reactive SG-Dextran of the 3-D Life Hydrogel system to establish 3D cell cultures QUANTITY Cat No L80-3 Sufficient for 4 8 ml hydrogel of a crosslinking strength of 1 2 mmol/l when used with SG-Dextran of the 3-D Life system
