GelControl Inserts
Designed to improve reproducibility in soft-gel 3D workflows. GelControl™ inserts turn fragile hydrogel domes into more stable, repeatable 3D culture constructs – reducing damage from handling, improving imaging accessibility, creating consistency in shape, positioning and well-to-well results without impacting cellular viability.
GelControl™ inserts are sterile, ready-to-use PCL constructs delivered in 24-well and 48-well plates that reinforce soft gels used in 3D cell culture workflows. Wings stabilize and position the insert inside the well plate. Handle allows for transfer without cell or gel disruption. Minimally reinforced center ring ensures consistent geometry and area retention.

KEY BENEFITS
- Consistent, reproducible experiments
- Provides focal-plane consistency to improve imaging accessibility
- Reinforces gel to reduce damage and sample loss from handling and transfer
- Centralizes gel shape and position
- No negative impact on cellular viability
GelControl™ Evaluation PLATES
Evaluate the effectiveness of GelControl™ with your workflow using matched controls. Each plate includes inserts populated in half of the wells so gel-only controls can be assessed in identical experimental environments.
24 well: 12 inserts | 48 well: 24 inserts
