Product information
CellCeram™ is a bioabsorbable ceramic composite scaffold that contains 60% hydroxyapatite and 40% β-tricalciumphosphate. This very same composition and structure is commercially available as synthetic, resorbable bone graft substitute and marketed under the trade name ReproBone™.
CellCeram™ has a foam type of structure with an average porosity of 83%. The average pore size is 200-400 μm with an overall range of 100-800 μm. CellCeram also contains some microporosity and interconnected pores.
Use
CellCeram™ is available with a diameter of 10 mm and height of 3 mm. It fits to 24- and 48-well plates. CellCrown™24 and CellCrown™48 can be used as assisting devices to maintain the firm position of CellCeram™ in the bottom of the well.
It is recommended to put CellCeram™ scaffolds into cell culturing media one day before initiation of the cell culturing for the sufficient wetting of the scaffold.
CellCeram™ is available single packed and sterilized by gamma irradiation. CellCeram™ is for single use, only. Scaffdex CellCeram™ is indicated only for research purposes and not for clinical use.
