Gut³Gel

An in vitro Mucus Model for Cultivating Intestinal Microbiota

Product description

Gut³Gel mucus-mimicking 3D structure represents a versatile, ready-to-use scalable tool that advances microbiota research by addressing critical challenges in replicating the intestinal mucus environment for culturing complex microbial communities, including mucus-associated microbes. Its high-throughput compatibility and ability to function without anaerobic conditions enable the simultaneous testing of multiple conditions using a large number of donor samples with various replicates. The experimental parameters of Gut³Gel can be finely tuned to specific research objectives by incorporating growth media, specific nutrients, and growth factors directly into the Gut³Gel structure. Potential applications include exploring the impact of therapeutic molecules on complex microbial community interactions, drug screening, microbiome mining, permeability assays, and other biomedical research areas involving host-microbiome interactions.
