Matexcel, a leading service provider in material science, with years of commitment to providing better material products for worldwide customers from both academia and industry, recently released — rat tail collagen I, high concentration product for cell culture.
Collagen is a protein composed of three α chains that combine to form a rope triple helix that provides tensile strength to the extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell growth, differentiation, attachment, and migration. Collagen is a major component of connective tissue and helps provide support to the tissue. It consists of several classes, of which type I collagen is the most common.
Rat tail collagen I can be prepared as a transparent gel that provides a 3D matrix or surface coating on tissue culture plates as a matrix for culturing primary cells such as keratinocytes and hepatocytes. It can be used either as a thin layer on tissue culture surfaces to enhance cell attachment and proliferation or as a gel to promote the expression of cell-specific morphology and function.
