| Bovine fibrillar Collagen solution is a highly concentrated (65 mg/mL) Type I Collagen solution that can easily be diluted as needed with media or buffer solutions. This material features high purity (purification through pepsin treatment) which offers reduced antigenicity with the removal of possible contaminants and is provided at neutral pH (pH 7.0). In vivo, fibrillar Collagen degrades in approximately 30 days. Application: Collagen is a major structural protein that provides structure and strength to tissues in the body. Due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high abundance, Collagen has been utilized for many applications in biomedical research. Applications of fibrillar Collagen may include:
Development of Collagen-based tissues for skin replacement, bone substitutes, and to generate artificial blood vessels and valves.
Drug delivery systems such as sponges for burns/wounds, formulations with liposomes for sustained drug delivery, materials for transdermal drug delivery, and nanoparticles for gene delivery.
As Collagen scaffolds for research in cancer, electrophysiological protocols, neuron myelination, immunology, and other cell culture applications. Morphology: White or off-white viscous gel (paste). |
