RAFT^TM 24-Well Large Kit, 3D Reagents and 24-Well Plate Absorbers - 48 Reactions

Product Overview

The RAFT^TM 3D Cell Culture System uses rat tail collagen type 1 along with patented absorber technology to create a realistic cellular environment to study cells' complex behavior. RAFT^TM Kit is a simple-to-use 3D cell culture system that enables the production of robust, reproducible 3D cultures in less than an hour.

The RAFT^TM 24-well kit consists of enough reagents for 48 microtissues including:  

RAFT^TM Reagent Kit (Cat# 016-0R94) – consists of rat tail collagen 1 as the extracellular matrix scaffold and a specially-designed neutralizing solution that enables neutralization to be carried out in a single step instead of an error-prone and tedious titration method. The kit also contains 10X MEM to support cells through the RAFT^TM Process. 

RAFT^TM Absorbers (Cat# 016-1R32) – The biocompatible absorbers are designed to work with standard 24-well cell culture plates. Once the cells are mixed with RAFT^TM Reagents, the absorbers are utilized to compress and absorb excess liquid from the collagen mixture. This results in the creation of well-controlled, high-density collagen scaffolds embedded with cell type(s) of choice. The RAFT^TM System is one of the few commercially available kits that allows users to create these high-density collagen scaffolds that are representative of a natural, more in vivo like environment for cells to grow and interact more efficiently.

Applications for RAFT^TM 24-well kit include:

• Cornea models
• Liver microtissue models
• Tumor microenvironment models
• Organoids and tumoroids
