Product Description
Remove a common source of background in fluorescence imaging and estrogen-sensitive cultures with a phenol red-free basement membrane matrix. It delivers the full growth-supporting profile of the standard formulation without the pH indicator dye.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 211222: GelNest Basement Membrane Matrix, Standard, Phenol Red-Free, LDEV-Free, 5 mL, Bottle. GelNest Matrix is prepared from basement membrane components extracted from mouse tumor tissue, rich in laminin, type IV collagen and heparan sulfate proteoglycan along with a range of growth factors. It mimics the physiological basement membrane to provide the adhesion, differentiation and proliferation cues cells need. Every lot is LDEV-free and supplied as 5 mL per bottle; keep it frozen and thaw on ice before use. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked with genuine NEST consumables.
