Mimetix^® electrospun scaffolds

The Electrospinning Company manufactures a range of scaffolds that are available in standard well-plate format. Mimetix scaffolds are manufactured from GMP-grade poly-L-lactide polymer (PLLA) with tight control over key parameters such as fibre diameter and thickness. The laboratory consumable products are highly consistent providing researchers reliable tools for reproducible cell-based assays. They are provided irradiated with gamma or e-beam.
