Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix
Cat. No. | G422 |
Name | Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix |
Description |
In cell biology, processes such as cell differentiation, cell cycle and cell survival are affected by signals stimulated through cell adhesion. Therefore adhesion plays a fundamental role in in vitro studies. ABM’s Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix composes mainly of type I collagen, isolated from rat (Rattus rattus) tail tendon. Type I collagen is the most abundant form of collagen and differs from other collagens by its low lysine hydroxylation and low carbohydrate composition. This product is suitable for usage as a solid gel or for coating of culture wares. ABM’s Applied Cell Extracellular matrix on culture surfaces have been shown to enhance cell attachment in a wide variety of cell lines such as hepatocytes, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. |

How to coat flasks? | |
To coat T-flasks, we recommend adding the desired amount of G422 to the flask and then putting the cap back on (if vented caps, tighten completely; for non-vented caps, keep them slightly loose). Once the incubation is complete, we recommend allowing the flasks to dry with the caps on to minimize the risk of introducing contamination.
