Telocollagen

Acidic extraction, lyophilized

Code: PRO-2002
Source: Porcine
Packaging: 10 - 100 mg
Storage: 2 - 8˚C

Description

  • Lyophilized, highly purified Type I collagen (telocollagen), extracted via acid-based method that retains the fibrillar structure of the native collagen molecule and preserves the superior physical and mechanical properties of the collagen found in tissues (such as the high tensile strength)1,2

Applications

Suitable for:

  • In vitro cultures
  • 3D cell cultures (high stiffness)
  • Collagen for culture coatings
  • Tissue engineering scaffolds
