PODS® GFP

PODS® GFP crystals display the same physical properties as other PODS® growth factor products. While PODS® GFP behave in the same way as other PODS® co-crystals, they differ in that they not contain a cargo protein that elicits effects on cells. Instead of this, they have fluorescent proteins (GFP) embedded. PODS® GFP can be used analogous to PODS® Empty as an inert control, but the primary purpose is to enable visualization and localization of PODS® crystals in cell culture, e.g. in 3D scaffolds, hydrogels and other biomaterials, utilizing fluorescence microscopy.
