Improve Repeatability In Organoid & Hydrogel Workflows

Selected academic labs can receive free GelControl™ evaluation kits to test handling, imaging, positioning, and reproducibility in established hydrogel workflows.

Evaluation partners contribute approved images, feedback, and basic comparison data from their pilot.

Why Participate

More Consistent Gel Shape & Position

Easier Handling & Transfer

Improved Imaging Accessibility

Reduced Sample Loss

Improved Reproducibility

No Negative Impact On Cellular Viability

Run a Focused Pilot In Your Own System

GelControl™ is designed for workflows where soft hydrogel constructs are difficult to keep centered, intact, and image-ready. This program gives selected labs a low-friction way to evaluate GelControl™ in the models they already run.

What Selected Labs Receive

  • Free 24-well or 48-well GelControl™ evaluation kits
  • Published protocol
  • Optional pilot-planning support

What We Ask From Partners

  • A pilot completed within 1-4 months
  • Share practical feedback on workflow fit and performance
  • Provide comparative images or basic data where available

Best-Fit Labs

What Selected Labs Receive

This program is best suited for academic labs already working with organoids, tumoroids, soft hydrogels, Matrigel-style domes, iPSC-derived models, patient-derived models, or imaging-heavy 3D culture assays.

Strong fits include labs experiencing:
  • Variable dome shape or position
  • Sample loss during media changes or transfer
  • Imaging inconsistency from construct movement or thickness
  • Interoperator variability

Research Partnership

Explore GelControl™ in Your Research

We’re partnering with select academic labs to explore how GelControl™ may improve workflows using hydrogel domes. VivoTex will provide evaluation kits at no cost. In return, we ask partners to share what they learn, including feedback and, where appropriate, experimental images or comparison data. Our goal is to learn together where GelControl™ adds meaningful value in real research workflows.

VivoTex will not use unpublished or confidential information without approval.
