ObaGel®

Optimize your science with ObaGel®

Obatala Sciences™ offers the first commercially available human derived 3D culture scaffold, ObaGel®. ObaGel® is an innovative product designed to overcome the translational barrier between animal models and clinical response.

ObaGel® enables researchers to use all human derived products in their research and better replicate in vivo response in vitro.

Place your order online or contact our dedicated research team to identify the appropriate service contract. We work collaboratively with our clients to ensure the highest level of scientific rigor and customer satisfaction.

For 3D and 2D culture work using ObaGel®, we also recommend using ObaVate™, which is available in a bundle with ObaGel.

When cultured in ObaGel®, Cells remodel the polymerized matrix and form mature fat cells with spaces that contain lipid droplets. These images are cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) images of ObaGel® alone (left) and seeded with stromal vascular fraction cells (right). 

Better - ONLY Human-Derived commercial matrix

Faster - Enables faster indicators of human response

  • Source

  • Integration into Workflow

  • Cell Recovery

  • Visualization

  • Spheroid Culture

ObaGel™

  • Human derived

  • Easily manipulated

  • Cell recovery consistently above 90% in 3D system

  • Highly transparent, easily imaged

  • Self-assembly, no additional methods

Industry Competitors

  • Animal derived

  • Overly complex methods required

  • Inconsistent, <90%

  • Often times difficult to characterize structure, problems with opacity and autofluorescence

  • Requires culturing to create spheroid

 

ObaGel® Companion Products

  • ObaVate™ is the activation agent for ObaGel™. It allows for fine tuning of ObaGel® to meet specific experimental criteria, i.e. 3D or 2D culture.

  • ObaZolve™ enables the recovery of cells cultured on ObaGel®. We have seen over 90% recovery after a 21 day culture!

  • ObaFlow™ allows for Flow Cytometry analysis of cells that have been cultured in ObaGel™ in 3D culture. 

Our protocols have more information about how to use these products.
