Product Description
Maintain healthy, undifferentiated pluripotent stem cell colonies with a matrix formulated for human embryonic stem cell culture. It provides a feeder-free coating that supports stem cell attachment and expansion.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 211272: GelNest Basement Membrane Matrix, for hESC and Stem Cell Culture, 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. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked with genuine NEST consumables.
