Innovating In Vitro Science with MATTEK, now a Part of Sartorius
MATTEK, now a part of Sartorius, is a biotech company specializing in lab-grown human tissue models, primary human cells, and cultureware to support biomedical research and drug development. A global leader in engineered 3D in vitro human tissue models including skin, ocular, oral, respiratory, intestinal, and vaginal models. These models provide human relevant alternatives to animal testing with improved accuracy, reproducibility, and cost efficiency.
The portfolio includes not only ready to use microtissues like EpiDerm™, EpiAirway™, EpiAlveolar™, and EpiIntestinal™, but also primary human cells, specialized media, and optically superior cultureware (e.g., glass bottom plates and dishes) for high-quality imaging and in vitro assays.
Additionally, testing services, including advanced imaging and digital pathology tools for regulatory toxicology and efficacy studies across cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical, and household product industries, are performed in-house by Mattek's in vitro experts. Ensuring quality and regulatory standards are met, the tissue models meet OECD and EU testing guidelines and are widely used in the US, Europe, and Asia.
Accelerate Your Research
3D tissue models closely replicate human physiology, providing more predictive data than traditional 2D cultures or animal testing.
Ready-to-use microtissues and primary cells streamline workflows, enabling faster, more reliable drug screening, toxicity testing, and disease modeling.
Validated in vitro models support regulatory compliance (OECD, EU guidelines) while reducing reliance on animal testing.
Advanced cultureware and imaging-compatible platforms enable high-resolution, real-time insights for reproducible and scalable results.
