Quality: Mouse colonies routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing; Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogens; Tested 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 is tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C; Biological activity is determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay. Application: This natural product is isolated from mouse and contains laminin, Collagen IV, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors. It can be used in 2D and 3D cell culture to improve the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epitheliod cells. Information provided by Matexcel |
