In Vitro Models
Building better models of human biology.
Advanced in vitro models are creating new ways to study human biology. As these models become more sophisticated, greater control over the extracellular matrix becomes increasingly important.
The Matrix
The matrix is part of the model.
Cells do not function in isolation. The extracellular matrix provides the structural and biochemical environment in which cells attach, organise and function.
In vitro, the matrix becomes part of the experimental system. Its composition, concentration and preparation can influence the environment surrounding the cells — making matrix control an important part of model design.
More complex models need better-defined matrices.
The way we model
human biology is changing.

human-relevant models.
Defined ECM
Built for control. From matrix to model.
VOID starts with defined materials and controlled preparation, giving researchers greater control over the matrix environment surrounding their cells.
Defined by design.
Build the matrix from controlled components and preparation conditions, giving researchers greater visibility over the environment surrounding their cells.
Made to repeat.
Standardised materials and preparation workflows help reduce experimental variability and create more consistent matrix environments across studies.
Built to adapt.
Adjust matrix composition and preparation around different cells, models and experimental requirements.
The CollGel™ Starter Kit brings the first elements of the Inkfinity™ Platform into the laboratory. Defined materials and controlled preparation give researchers greater control over collagen matrices for 3D culture, tissue models and bioprinting.
Whatever you’re building, start with the matrix.
Controlled Reconstitution. InkSoluble™ RB01 provides a defined buffer environment for controlled and reproducible reconstitution of lyophilised CollGel™.
Defined at Source. CollGel™-01 is a highly purified Type I collagen supplied in lyophilised form, providing a defined starting material for matrix preparation.
Closed by Design. Inktegration™ keeps key reconstitution, mixing and transfer steps within a contained workflow, reducing the need for open handling during preparation.
What are you building?
One collagen starting material. Different ways to build the cellular environment around your model.
3D Culture & Organoids. Create collagen-rich three-dimensional environments that allow cells to grow, organise and interact within a defined matrix.
Barrier & Tissue Models. Build collagen-based environments for layered and multicellular models that recreate key features of tissue organisation and cell–matrix interaction.
Bioprinting. Formulate collagen-based bioinks for cell-laden 3D biofabrication, with concentration adjustable around different printing and model requirements.
