- Improves cell attachment and increases proliferation rates for a variety of normal and transformed mammalian cell types
Collagen is an integral part of the framework that holds cells and tissues together and has been recognized as a useful matrix for improving cell culture. In vitro use of collagen can exert effects on the adhesion, morphology, growth, migration, and differentiation of a variety of cell types.
Applications include:
- Promotion of cell attachment and spreading
- Rapid expansion of cell populations
- Serum-free or reduced serum culture
- Cell adhesion assays
- Improving survival of primary cells in culture
Quality Control: Tested for ability to promote attachment and spreading of HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. Tested and found negative for bacteria and fungi. Collagen I purity > 90% by SDS-PAGE
Storage and Stability:
Cellware is stable for at least six months from date of shipment when stored at 4-30°C under dry conditions. Coverslips and CultureSlides are stable for at least three months from date of shipment when stored at 2-8°C.
