FAQ
Short answers about the Aga Cup.
Material, application, documentation and Aga Cup requests.
- What is the Aga Cup?
- A hydrogel cup placed over a tissue sample in the petri dish. The tissue sample is immobilized; medium diffuses from the inner well through the hydrogel to the tissue sample.
- For which tissue samples is the Aga Cup suitable?
- It is intended for evaluation with tissue samples, explants and tissue sections — especially where immobilization and medium access need control.
- What materials are used?
- The Aga Cup is made from a biocompatible 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 hydrogel geometry, immobilization and diffusion.
- Are culture protocols available?
- Application-specific protocols are provided on request as part of Aga Cup coordination. Thom-Med can share protocol context based on your tissue sample and workflow.
- How do I request Aga Cups?
- Aga Cups can be requested via the contact form. Briefly describe your tissue sample, 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 Aga Cup coordination.
