The invention relates to a chitosan modified alginate hydrogel three-dimensional porous bracket with specific in-vitro degradability and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving sodium alga acid serving as a raw material in phosphate buffer solution; performing amidation reaction of a carboxyl group in the sodium alga acid and an amino group in a cross-linking agent cystamine or dimethyl cystinate under the activation of water-soluble carbodiimide to form a chemically crosslinked hydrogel; performing freeze drying on the hydrogel to obtain a porous bracket material of the hydrogel; and performing surface modification on the porous bracket by using chitosan. In solution of a reducing agent such as cysteine with an appropriate concentration, a disulfide bond in a hydrogel cross-bridge is degraded through a disulfide bond-sulfydryl conversion reaction, so the porous bracket is decomposed and dissolved and disappears. Therefore, the porous bracket can be used as an in-vitro cell culture template material. The hydrogel porous bracket researched by the invention has the characteristics of simple preparation, rich raw material source, low cost and availability. Various physiochemical performances, mechanical strength, degradation rate and surface properties of the bracket material are controllable within a large range.
