Product Description
Run reproducible tube formation and angiogenesis studies with a matrix formulated specifically for vascular research. It gives endothelial cells the basement membrane cues they need to organize into capillary-like networks.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 211492: GelNest Basement Membrane Matrix, for Angiogenesis Experiments, 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. Order it from LIGHT LABS alongside the rest of your NEST plastics and consumables.
