Corning® 100 mL Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free

Corning® 100 mL Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free

Corning Matrigel matrix is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including Laminin (a major component), Collagen IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.

Quality:

• Mouse colonies routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing
• Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogensTested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
• Protein concentrations determined by Lowry method
• Endotoxin units measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay
• Matrigel Matrix gel stability tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C
• Biological activity determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay.

Preparation and Storage, Store at -20°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaws.
