3-D Life Thioglycerol, negative control component to ensure equal gel strengths in 3-D Life Hydrogels (180 ul). INTRO: 3-D Life technology, manufactured in Germany by Cellendes GmbH, is an integrated system for the generation of hydrogels used in 3D cell culture. 3-D Life represents the most flexible system for biomimetic hydrogel design. DESCRIPTION: 3-D Life Thioglycerol (CAS-No. 96-27-5) can be covalently coupled with its thiol group to SH-reactive groups of Dextran or PVA polymers to modify 3-D Life Hydrogels. Concentration of reactive groups: 20 mmol/L. For more information and instructions, please consult the 3-D Life Hydrogels User Guide. APPLICATION: 3-D Life Thioglycerol is used as a negative control in place of peptides to modify 3-D Life Hydrogels. If comparative studies at different peptide concentrations are to be made, a corresponding amount of the cell neutral Thioglycerol should be added to ensure equal gel strengths between gels (see Table 4 and 5 in the User Guide).
