PVA microcarriers for regenerative medicine
18 Apr 2024Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microcarriers are small spherical particles made from polyvinyl alcohol polymer. They are commonly used in cell culture applications as a substrate for the attachment and growth of anchorage-dependent cells. Kuraray introduces its PVA microcarriers specifically designed for regenerative medicine. Because the material is made of a highly elastic PVA hydrogel, the microcarriers are not damaged even when vigorously stirred in a bioreactor and, as a result, do not generate microscopic fragments. They have cleared quality assurance and safety tests based on good manufacturing practices (GMPs: pharmaceutical manufacturing management and quality assurance standards).

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines.
