FAQ
Short answers about the Aga Cup.
Material, application, documentation and sample requests.
- What is the Aga Cup?
- An agarose cup placed over a tissue or cell sample in the petri dish. The sample stays localized; medium diffuses from the inner well through the agarose to the sample.
- Which sample types is the Aga Cup suitable for?
- It is intended for evaluation with explants, organoids, tissue sections, cell clusters and cell pellets — especially where positioning and medium access need control.
- What materials are used?
- The Aga Cup is made from agarose hydrogel without animal-derived components. Material and biocompatibility context are provided on request for the specific application.
- How does the Aga Cup differ from Matrigel?
- Matrigel is a biochemically active matrix with complex composition. The Aga Cup works physically: defined agarose geometry, positioning and diffusion.
- Are culture protocols available?
- Application-specific protocols are provided on request with sample shipments. Thom-Med can share protocol context based on your sample type and workflow.
- How do I request samples?
- Samples can be requested via the contact form. Briefly describe your sample type, institution, and application context. Thom-Med will respond with availability and shipping coordination.
- Is the Aga Cup CE-certified?
- The Aga Cup is currently in the development and testing phase for research use. Information on regulatory status can be provided on request.
- What documentation is available?
- Technical data sheet, culture protocol, and biocompatibility context are available on request. They are provided as part of sample coordination.
