PeptiMatrix™ Core
PeptiMatrix™ Core is an innovative, self-assembling peptide hydrogel (SAPH) that was designed to address all the shortcomings of current in vitro model platforms.
It is well-defined, reproducible, optically transparent, and entirely animal-free. It is also supplied ready-to-use, in a range of different stiffnesses, and is stable at room temperature. All you need to do is combine with your cells of interest and plate out. It is also customisable by the end user by encapsulating selected matrix proteins or glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) alongside cells to build more representative models of development and disease.
*As evaluated by bulk osscilitory rheology. Other methods of measuring stiffness may yield different results. For full details, email info@peptimatrix.com.
We can also offer discounts if ordering in bulk or for repeat orders.

Compatibility
Because PeptiMatrix™ Core is available in a range of different stiffnesses, and because it can be further customised by the end user with selected matrix proteins or glycoasminoglycans (GAGs), it can be used to create a variety of tissue mimics and is compatible across a range of different applications.
This technology has been successfully trialled in partner labs across the globe and has been so far validated for the following cell types:
We have also tested our technology for compatibility across multiple standard analytical assays, including:
-
Immunocytochemistry
-
Immunohistochemistry
-
Including embedding the hydrogels for sectioning
-
-
Fluorescent and luminescence readouts using a plate reader
-
Including standard cell viability assays
-
-
RNA and DNA extraction
-
Proteomic and Glycomic analysis
- Bulk osscilitory rheology
-
Microrheology
-
Including optical trapping and AFM-based rheometry
-
Additionally, cells can be extracted in a cell-friendly manner for re-seeding or downstream processing, allowing greater compatibility with a variety of other standard assays.
Fully optimised Standard Operating Protocols (SOPs) for any of these, and more, are freely available by emailing info@peptimatrix.com.
Examples
Below are some key examples where researchers were able to leverage our hydrogel technology to build more physiologically relevant models of development and disease.
