Inventia Inspiring Science
With its unique technology, RASTRUM places individual cell types and matrix components drop-by-drop and layer-by-layer to build a 3D cell model, giving you capability like never before to recreate in vivo biology.
Design your experiment without the need for 3D modeling or hydrogel engineering
Easy and automated printing workflow to create your 3D cell model efficiently and reproducibly.
Printed 3D cell models are compatible with standard culture and analysis.
The RASTRUM™ 3D cell culture platform, developed by Inventia Life Science, utilises synthetic PEG-based matrices that:
Tunable stiffness to provide physiologically relevant environments
Full-length proteins enriched in nautral extracellular matrices (i.e. laminin and collagen)
Modifiable adhesion peptides for mediating integrin binding
MMP-sensitive sites to enable cleavage of the matrix by cell-secreted proteases
