Product Description
Give your cells a surface that behaves like real tissue with a basement membrane matrix that supports attachment, growth and differentiation. This phenol red-containing formulation is offered in standard and growth factor reduced versions, so you can choose how much growth factor signaling your experiment needs.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 211232: GelNest Basement Membrane Matrix, Growth Factor Reduced, with Phenol Red, 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. LIGHT LABS carries the full NEST Scientific catalog with knowledgeable support when you need it.
