JellaGel™ is a Next Generation Jellyfish Collagen Hydrogel for in vitro cell culture and tissue engineering, offering customers a natural, non-mammalian alternative to mammalian and synthetic hydrogels currently on the market.

Hydrogels are an important tool in a researcher mission to grow and maintain cells successfully. Two-dimensional cell culture has been used for some time now, but growing cells in flat layers on plastic surfaces does not accurately model the in vivo state. Hydrogels allow cells to grow and interact with all of their surroundings thanks to the 3D environment. Cells grown in 3D models have proven to be more physiologically relevant, with improved cell viability, morphology, proliferation, and differentiation.

JellaGel provides customers with a biochemically simple, consistent, and easy to use hydrogel that can transform their research. One of the greatest features of JellaGel is that it can be used at room temperature meaning there is no need for ice or cold rooms, unlike some hydrogels currently on the market. JellaGel is manufactured from Jellyfish collagen, which can be defined as “collagen type 0” due to its homogeneity to the mammalian types I, II, III, V, and IX.

This product is conveniently supplied in kit format with 10mL JellaGel solution, buffer and crosslinker for ease of use.

• Biochemically simple: no unwanted/undefined growth factors or biological contaminants that could negatively influence the culture of cells
• Non-mammalian marine-sourced Collagen Type 0, avoiding the ethical and safety concerns associated with mammalian collagen
• Suitable for translation from in vivo to in vitro applications
• Batch to batch consistency offers improved research productivity, allowing security of product consistency and reproducible results
• Evolutionary ancient collagen demonstrating sequence homology to collagen I, II, III and V
• Manufactured according to ISO13485: follows a quality controlled manufacturing process producing a medical device-grade collagen
• Cleaner at miRNA level when compared to mammalian alternatives giving customers a cleaner cell culture with less off-target effects
• An easy to use hydrogel that doesn't require the use of ice or cold rooms. Can be formulated into a self sustaining hydrogel at room temperature
