CELL & TISSUE CULTURE

COLLAGEN AS UNIVERSAL MATRIX IN CELL & TISSUE CULTURE

Due to its central role as an extracellular matrix protein in cell adhesion and organ formation, collagen is an ideal substrate for cell culture and tissue engineering. Using an advanced technology for collagen purification and processing, our unique fibrous collagen retains the in vivo-like structure of insoluble collagen fibers with excellent proven biocompatibility and biodegradability.
All our collagen products provide natural signals for better attachment, growth, and differentiation, thereby supporting authentic cell performance and complex tissue formation. They are suited for a wide range of biomedical research and development applications that based on cell & tissue cultures
Collagen type I is a major structural component of the extracellular matrix
where it forms a fibrillar scaffold for cell adhesion and the formation of connective tissues.
