Enhancing Cell Culture with Collagen

Enhancing Cell Culture with Collagen

08/03/23

As a scientist or researcher, you understand the importance of using high-quality materials in your experiments. When it comes to cell culture assays, the choice of extracellular matrix components can greatly impact the accuracy and reliability of your results. That's where Advanced BioMatrix's collagen products come in. With their exceptional purity, consistency, and functionality, PureCol, TeloCol, and Rat Tail Collagen Solution offer a superior solution for enhancing your cell culture assays.

The Role of Collagen in Cell Culture Assays

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and plays a crucial role in tissue structure and function. In cell culture assays, collagen serves as a scaffold that mimics the natural environment of cells, providing them with the necessary support and cues for proper growth and behavior. By using collagen products from Advanced BioMatrix, you can create a more physiologically relevant microenvironment for your cells, leading to more accurate and meaningful results.

PureCol: The Gold Standard in Collagen Solutions

One of Advanced BioMatrix's flagship products is PureCol, a highly pure and consistent Type I bovine atelocollagen solution. With a collagen content of ≥99.9%, PureCol ensures that you are working with a product of the highest quality. Sourced from a controlled, closed herd in the United States, PureCol is free from contaminants and impurities that could compromise your experiments.

PureCol is versatile and can be used for both 2D and 3D cell culture. It is soluble in 0.01 N HCl and can be easily coated onto surfaces or used to prepare thin layers or solid gels. The collagen solution is sterile filtered and supplied as a ready-to-use solution, saving you time and effort in the lab. Whether you are studying cell migration, cell adhesion, or tissue development, PureCol provides a reliable and consistent substrate for your assays.

TeloCol: Fine-Tuning Your Cell Culture Environment

For researchers looking to fine-tune their cell culture environment, Advanced BioMatrix offers TeloCol-3 Type I Collagen Solution. This unique product contains approximately 95% Type I collagen and 5% Type III collagen, providing a more specialized matrix for specific cell types or applications. TeloCol can be used for coating surfaces or forming 3D hydrogels, allowing you to create custom environments that closely mimic the conditions found in vivo.

To make handling TeloCol even easier, Advanced BioMatrix provides a neutralization solution that ensures optimal pH conditions for gel formation. The collagen solution is sterile filtered and can be conveniently stored at 2-10°C, maintaining its stability and functionality over time. With TeloCol, you have the flexibility to design experiments that precisely match your research objectives.

Telocollagen polymerizes faster and forms stronger gels than atelocollagen products. 

PureCol Collagen Coated Plates

To save a step for 2D cell culture, you can order pre-coated plates. Our collagen coated plates are aseptically coated with PureCol collagen. PureCol is >99.9% pure collagen, ensuring consistency and reliability across experiments. 

Our collagen coated plates include:
