Mimetix is an electrospun scaffold that mimics the extracellular matrix and provides an ideal environment to support the growth of cells in 3D. The Mimetix multiwell plate is designed to be easy to use and compatible with industry standard automated handling and imaging equipment. The synthetic scaffold, which is 50 microns thick, is laser-welded into the plate, and is available in a range of pore sizes.

Mimetix has been validated with a number of primary cells and cell lines, including breast cancer cells and hepatocytes and supports highly consistent cell performance in 3D.
