Can anyone please suggest a cheap hydrogel brand available to buy for 3D cell culture?
Or if someone can share a recipe to prepare homemade hydrogel (for 3D cell culture), that would be fantastic.
You can try sodium alginate and some cost-effective crosslinker for hydrogel preparation. Sodium alginate and calcium chloride beads are commonly used for 3D culture studies.

I am using the Tissue Labs hydrogel. It is not as expensive as others on the market and there is availability to buy the hydrogel according to the tissue that will be studied.
Take a look and see if it works for you.

Good luck!
Many thanks, Saurabh and Bianca. Is there any method to increase the gel density/ percentage of commercially available gels? Bianca Mariani Gonçalves
