Product Description Advanced BioMatrix offers PhotoAlginate ® , a methacrylated alginate for photocrosslinkable hydrogels or for mixing with other photocrosslinkable hydrogels (such as PhotoGel, PhotoCol or PhotoHA). PhotoAlginate ® can form 3D gels and can be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked to provide various gel stiffness. PhotoAlginate ® is unique in that it can also be crosslinked with calcium. This product can be ordered by itself (200 mg of lyophilized sterile powder), or as a kit that comes with a photoinitiator for photocrosslinking (see table below): Item Catalog Number Photoinitiator Included PhotoAlginate #5310 N/A PhotoAlginate with Irgacure #5353 Irgacure (365nm) PhotoAlginate with LAP #5354 LAP (405nm) PhotoAginate with Ruthenium #5355 Ruthenium (400-450nm) Once solubilized, the PhotoAlginate ® can be stored at 2-10°C for 1 month.
