UPM Biomedicals

UPM Biomedicals provides a bio-friendly hydrogel extracted from birch which is sourced from sustainable and responsibly managed forests. GrowDex® is a ready to use, room temperature stable hydrogel that mimics the extracellular matrix supporting cell growth and differentiation. GrowDex has some unique qualities in that it doesn’t require gelation, has tunable stiffness and sample recovery without disruption is a simple process. The versatility and batch consistency of GrowDex enables it to be used in multiple applications from 3D cell culture (spheroid & organoid formation), organ-on-a-chip models, personalised medicine, drug release studies, 3D printing through to drug discovery and toxicity screening.
