Universal substrate for 3D bacterial culture

Screening with higher precision

MISSION

Bac³Gel technology enables to mimic a range of different human mucus in physiological and pathological conditions.

Due to the distinctive features of Bac³Gel, it is now possible to recreate human microbiota in vitro to be used by Pharma and Cosmetic Industries, Contract Research Organisations (CRO) and Research laboratories.

TECHNOLOGY

Gradient Structure

Typical of physiologic intestinal, stomach and vaginal mucus, and pathologic lung mucus

Fully tunable

All parameters can be modified: chemistry, gradient, viscoelastic properties, structure and thickness

Recreate Microbiota in vitro

Host different microorganisms simultaneously typical of intestinal, lung and vaginal microbiota

Mucus barrier

Reproduces the interactive and steric barriers of mucus

APPLICATIONS

In vitro screening technology for drug discovery and development to determine:
– Mucus Permeability
– Antimicrobial Susceptibility
– The efficacy of probiotics, prebiotics, nutraceuticals and other food supplements

Preserve subjects/patients microbiota during sample transport
Substrate to manufacture bacteria-derived products with higher yield
