Product Description
Build firmer gels and more robust 3D structures with a high concentration basement membrane matrix. Higher protein content suits applications that need stiffer plugs or domes, and it is offered with or without phenol red.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 211262: GelNest Basement Membrane Matrix, High Concentration, 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. LIGHT LABS carries the full NEST Scientific catalog with knowledgeable support when you need it.
