CytoSurgeâ„¢ PCL Scaffolds
CytoSurge™ PCL 6-well inserts are our proprietary 3D cell culture scaffolds made of synthetic polycaprolactone (PCL) biopolymer. Over the past two decades, PCL has been studied and used extensively for tissue engineering applications. It has been cited over 35,000 times in scientific literature.
PCL is,
-
biocompatible and FDA-accepted for medical applications
-
biodegradable
-
compatible with cell-specific polymer blends
CytoSurgeâ„¢ 6-Well Insert
CytoSurge™ Inserts are designed for convenient handling of scaffolds in and out of 6-well plates for media change and a variety of analyses (e.g., PrestoBlue™, Confocal Imaging, etc).
The 6-well plate insert is designed to be a universal fit for most 6-well cell culture plates on the market.

Unique linear perfusion channels for mass transport
Aligned fiber arrays for controlled porosity
Incubate cells with CytoSurge™ over 30 days with healthy proliferation
CytoSurge™ is compatible with Matrigel® or similar materials
(for advanced applications)
Confocal Microscopy
CytoSurge™ inserts are designed to screen and optimize the adherent cell proliferation conditions for cell manufacturing at scale
Multilayered cell growth
Aligned fiber arrays are separated by spacers to achieve uniform cell diffusion, efficient media, gas, and metabolites exchange, confined and confluent cell growth and easy harvesting at the end.
