The Problem with Conventional ECM Systems

Most extracellular matrix systems rely on soluble proteins, bulk gels, surface coatings, or reactive polymer systems that require user-controlled preparation. These approaches introduce experimental variability through:

  • Protein concentration and dilution differences
  • Polymerization or gelation kinetics
  • Thickness, curing, and setting artifacts
  • Operator handling, timing, and workflow variation
  • Lot-to-lot material inconsistency

As a result, experimental outcomes often reflect ECM preparation variability rather than true biological differences.

The BioECMCode™ Approach

BioECMCode™ replaces formulation-based ECM systems with structurally encoded extracellular cultureware. Our products are:

  • Pre-manufactured and ready-to-use
  • Non-reactive and formulation-free
  • Non-chemical by design
  • Spatially defined at manufacturing

Cells interact with a fixed extracellular architecture that is consistent across lots, experiments, and laboratories, and independent of user handling or timing.

What “Structurally Encoded” Means

Instead of tuning extracellular behavior through chemistry, concentration, or polymerization, BioECMCode™ encodes extracellular instruction through physical architecture, including:

  • Spatial geometry
  • Surface topology
  • Defined extracellular presentation
  • Engineered 2D and 3D structures

This enables reproducible cell–environment interactions driven by structure rather than formulation.

What “Non-Chemical” Means

BioECMCode™ products require no polymerization, no crosslinking agents, and no formulation steps.

No polymerization

No gelation kinetics, curing time, or setting artifacts.

No tuning steps

No stiffness tuning or formulation-dependent workflows.

No reactive chemistry

No crosslinkers, ligand conjugation, or chemical coupling.

Open. Seed. Culture.
