COLLAGEN BIO TUBES
COLLAGEN BIO TUBES (CBT)
Special scaffolds for tube formation in tissue engineering
CBTs are designed as a tubular, in vivo-like collagen scaffold for use in bioreactors, fluidic systems or conventional culture vessels, allowing cells to grow both, at the inside and outside of the tube wall.
Like the Collagen Cell Carrier® , their high mechanical strength permits an easy and sterile translocation of the intact cell-scaffold complex e.g. for transplantation experiments.
BENEFITS
- Excellent biocompatibility of pure collagen fibers, no chemical crosslinking
- Combinable with additional matrix molecules and growth factors
- Easy processing for immunofluorescence, histology, or metabolic cell analysis
- Adjustable length by trimming in wet condition
- Standardized industrial production process
APPLICATIONS
- Cultivation of adherent primary cells, stem cells and cell lines
- Studies on cell differentiation and development, tube formation
- Use in bioreactors or fluidic systems
- Transplantation experiments
Quality
- Pure collagen type I fibers from bovine calf skin
- Produced without chemical cross-linking
- Sterilized by gamma irradiation
- Available in research grade
- Gamma-sterilized
- Compliant with ISO 9001 quality management standards
