Gellan gum, for cell culture

• CAT Number: I041812
• CAS Number: 71010-52-1
• Purity: ≥95%

Gellan gum is a linear microbial exopolysaccharide that can be used as a cell scaffold for both soft tissue and load bearing applications. Gellan gum has many advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, nontoxic in nature, and physical stability in the presence of cations[1][2].
Gellan gum-based hydrogels have been studied for their potential for cartilage and bone tissue regeneration[1].
