Description
Lyophilized Atelocollagen (Cat. No. PRO-2001), is characterized by rich, highly purified Type I collagen content that retains its superior functionality and physical/mechanical properties. PRO-2001 is extracted from porcine tendon tissue sourced from strictly controlled herds, complying with all EU regulations. The proprietary pepsin enzyme-based extraction method used removes telopeptides at the non-helical N and C termini, resulting in a triple helix configuration that exhibits reduced immunogenicity.
Applications
Extracted atelocollagen is biocompatible and biodegradable and thus suitable for a wide range of research applications, such as:
- In vitro cell cultures
- Cell functional assays (invasion assay, proliferation assay, etc.)
- Soft 3D cell cultures (e.g. tumor assays)

Reconstitution
- PRO-2001 may be reconstituted to a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 mg/ml when used as a coating agent and as chemoattractant.
- For the production of collagen gels, a concentration of 3.0 mg/ml may be used (slow gelation assays - cells will sink to the bottom of the gel).
- To reconstitute, add 0.1M acetic acid or 0.01M HCl to the vial and let it stand without stirring. Warming to 25˚C may be necessary for lyophilized atelocollagen to dissolve completely (clear solution).
Storage/Expiration
