Epidermal 3D Cell Systems
Improving still further our originial medium for 3D culture of epidermal keratinocytes, CELLnTEC has now released a new formulation, known as 3D Prime (cat.# CnT-02-3DP).
| Cat # | Description | Species | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| CnT-02-3DP5 | Epidermal Keratinocyte 3D Prime Medium, Defined, 500 mL | Human | $195.00 |
| All media supplied as kits containing basal medium and separate frozen supplements. | |||
Developed using our established signalling-based approach, this completely defined medium enables more rapid establishment of a fully stratified epidermis. Using this medium, models can now be ready for experimentation in just 14-18 days.

Like all our media, CnT-02-3DP is supplied as a kit with all the required supplements, and needs no further supplementation. It is also available within a 3D starter kit, which includes everything needed to routinely establish 3D models in your own lab, to your own schedule.
For a short time, free samples of CnT-02-3DP are available! Please email us for details on how to obtain your free sample.
3D Starter Kits: Everything you need for 3D
For total convenience, now you can obtain everything you need to reliably establish 3D epidermal models routinely in your own lab, in one kit.
Kits are available with or without primary HPEK keratinocytes, and in two pack sizes (25 or 50 inserts).
| Cat # | Description | Datasheet | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D-HPEK-50 | 3D Keratinocyte Starter Kit 50, including primary cells | click here | $780.00 |
| 3D-K-50 | 3D Keratinocyte Starter Kit 50, without primary cells | click here | $540.00 |
| All kits contain PCT medium, 3D medium, inserts, stain solution, and complete protocol | |||
Our 3D starter kits all contain a PCT medium for isolating and maintaining the primary cells, the 3D medium for initiating 3D culture, Millicell inserts in which the cultures are established, staining solution for confirming confluency prior to lifting, and a full protocol. Protocols are also available for routine histology, staining, and immunofluorescence.
3D culture using the original 3D medium
With an established track record, our original 3D medium (cat.# CnT-02-3D) is a proven performer for the establishment of 3D cultures.
Although not as fast as the new Prime formulation, CnT-02-3D remains a viable alternative for the establishment and maintenance of 3D cultures.
Using this medium, models are typically ready for use in approximately 18-21 days (see image below).
