General description
PureCol™ collagen is approximately 97% Type I with the remainder being comprised of Type III collagen. It is soluble atelo-collagen. It contains high monomer content as measured by gel permeation chromatography.
It is ideal for coating of surfaces and providing preparations of thin layers for culturing cells. PureCol™, lyophilized form is not recommended for the formation of a solid gel. PureCol™ collagen is provided in user-friendly packaging for use and storage. This product is supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder.
Application
PureCol™ has been used:
- in collagen gel preparation for the 3D sprouting assay with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) spheroids
- to coat Costar® Transwell® Inserts plates before cell migration assays with bladder smooth muscle cells (BMSC)
- to coat culture plates for collagen degradation assay with breast cancer cell lines
Preparation Note
This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder with 15 mg of bovine collagen. When reconstituted with 5 ml of sterile 0.01 N HCl, a concentration of approximately 3 mg/ml is achieved.
