About

Agarose tools for controlled culture.

Thom-Med develops the Aga Cup for samples that need localized positioning and reproducible medium access in the petri dish.

About Thom-Med

Development from lab requirements.

Thom-Med was founded by Andreas Thomsen and focuses on agarose-based tools for cell and tissue culture. The Aga Cup solves one concrete task: localize the sample on the dish floor, hold medium in the inner well and enable supply by diffusion.

The company operates as a sole proprietorship and is based in Kenzingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Application, samples and technical documentation are coordinated per project.

Focus: defined agarose geometries, controlled sample positioning and practical handling in standard petri-dish workflows.

Product principle

Geometry, medium, sample.

The Aga Cup combines a sample-facing agarose base, an inner well for culture medium and three positioning wings. The carrier should do no more than the workflow needs.

The problem Tissue samples drift freely in conventional petri dish culture — positioning is uncontrolled.

Product context

Controlled position before culture starts.

In conventional petri-dish culture, tissue or cell samples can drift in medium. The Aga Cup is placed over the sample, keeps it localized on the dish floor and lets medium diffuse through agarose to the sample.

Aga Cup-specific validation is in preparation; technical documentation and protocol context are provided on request.
