Corning® Matrigel® Basement Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free, 5 mL
Description
Corning Matrigel matrix is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including Laminin (a major component), Collagen IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.
Quality
- Mouse colonies are routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing
- Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogens, (including LDEV, to ensure strict control of raw materials used during the manufacturing process).
- Tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
- Protein concentrations are determined by Lowry method
- Endotoxin units are measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay
- Corning 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. Chick dorsal root ganglia are plated on a 1.0mm layer of Corning Matrigel Matrix and must generate positive neurite outgrowth response after 48 hours without addition of nerve growth factor
