Corning Matrigel matrix, is a solubilised basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in such ECM proteins as laminin (a major component), collagen IV, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.

This natural ECM-based hydrogel is among the most widely used models for 2D and 3D cell culture in vitro, enabling you to:

Improve the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epitheliod cells, as well as other cell types.

Better mimic environments for 2D and 3D cell culture applications.

LDEV-free EHS tumor

Corning Matrigel matrix is effective for the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epithelioid and other cell types. These include neurons, Sertoli cells, chick lens, vascular endothelial cells, and hepatocytes-

Applications include:

· Influencing gene expression in adult rat hepatocytes

· 3D culture in mouse and human mammary epithelial cells

· o peripheral nerve regeneration

· Metabolism and toxicology studies

· The development of several types of tumor cell invasion assays

· ropagation of human tumors in immunosuppressed mice

The maintenance of human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells

Formats available

Standard Formulation

Suitable for culture of polarized cells, such as epithelial cells.

Promotes differentiation of many cell types, including hepatocytes, neurons, beta-islets, mammary epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells.

High Concentration (HC)

Higher protein concentration provides greater matrix stiffness and scaffold integrity.

Suitable for cell delivery applications for improved cell engraftment and augmentation of solid tumour formation.

Growth Factor Reduced (GFR)

Suited for applications where a more highly defined basement membrane preparation is desired. Available in standard, Phenol red-free, and GFR formulations.

Phenol Red Free

Suitable for assays that require colour detection (e.g., colorimetric, fluorescence).Available in standard, GFR, and HC formulations.

Pre-screened for compatibility with mTeSR®1 medium by Stem Cell Technologies, providing the reproducibility and consistency essential for human embryonic and induced pluripotent feeder-free stem cell culture.
