PhotoGel®-IRG
Methacrylated Gelatin with Irgacure Kit
Catalog #5215
PhotoGel®-IRG is a methacrylated gelatin kit. These 3D gelatin hydrogels can be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked (365nm) to provide various gel stiffness. Each kit contains 1 gram (2 x 500 mg) of methacrylated gelatin and irgacure photoinitiator.
Product Description
Advanced BioMatrix offers PhotoGel® UV Kit, a purified methacrylated gelatin kit for UV-crosslinkable hydrogels. PhotoGel® provides 3D tunable gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and crosslinked to provide various gel stiffness.
The PhotoGel® kit consists of purified methacrylated porcine gelatin and a UV Photoinitiator (365 nm). The gelatin is type A 300 bloom.
Item | Catalog Number | Package Size | Storage Temperature |
Methacrylated Gelatin | #5208 | 1 gram (2 x 500 mg) | -20°C |
Irgacure Photoinitiator | #5200 | 100 mg | 2-10°C |
PhotoGel® is produced from methacrylated gelatin where the gelatin has been modified by reacting the free amines, primarily the ε-amines groups of the lysine residues as well as the a-amines groups on the N-termini. >75% of the total lysine residues of the gelatin molecule have been methacrylated. The photoinitiator consists of Irgacure 2959 to be formulated in methanol (methanol not included) which allows UV crosslinking of the collagen at 365 nm.

Product Q & A
You can digest it with Proteinase K, though it kills the cells in the process.
Product Applications
Read our Methacrylated Extracellular Matrices eBrochure Here
PhotoGel® Gelatin methacrylate can be used to form cross-linked hydrogels for tissue engineering[1] and 3D printing. The common forms of 3D printing using Lifeink® 300 include extrusion[2][3][4], inkjet[5] and photolithography[6]).
PhotoGel® has been used for endothelial cell morphogenesis,[7] cardiomyocytes,[8] epidermal tissue[9], injectable tissue constructs[10], bone differentiation[11], and cartilage regeneration[12].
Gelatin methacrylate has been explored in drug delivery applications in the form of microspheres[13] and hydrogels[14].
