FAQ

Are the scaffolds available in other well plate sizes?

Currently, scaffolds are available in 24-well plates. However, we can produce other formats, including higher-density well plates. Please contact us to discuss your needs — we're happy to explore custom options.

Are the scaffolds available on well plate inserts?

Not at this time. We're initially launching scaffolds in well plates and plan to expand to insert formats in the future.

What type of well plate is being used?

We currently use clear, untreated well plates.

When will sterile scaffolds be available

We expect to be able to offer sterile scaffolds in all well plate sizes in Q3 2025.

Can I sterilize the scaffolds in an autoclave?

No, the scaffolds cannot be sterilized in an autoclave as they will melt at temperatures higher than 60C.

Can I configure my own sample kit?

The sample kit is currently offered in a single configuration. Please contact us to discuss your needs — we're happy to explore custom options.

What steps do you go through to create a custom scaffold?

Creating a custom scaffold is a collaborative process. We begin by learning about your research focus, your current tools or methods, and what you’re aiming to achieve. We’ll also review which of our existing scaffold designs you think could be a good starting point. Additionally, you can request a free sample kit with diverse designs, test them and customize the preferred design.

Are your scaffolds available in materials other than PCL?

PCL is the only material we are currently offering; however, we are always exploring new alternative materials.

In regards to custom designs, what are the customization limits for the scaffolds?

We can offer scaffolds with fiber diameters from 5–30 µm, inter-fiber spacing of 100 µm and above, and thicknesses ranging from 50–500 µm. Multilayer scaffolds can also be designed to include specific features (e.g., organoid-supporting fiber nets). Please contact us to discuss your needs — we're happy to explore custom options.

How large can I customize the substrate?

We can produce custom scaffolds larger than a standard 6-well plate. Technical feasibility depends on your specific requirements — please contact us to discuss.
