NEST GelNest Matrix, High Concentration, with Phenol Red, LDEV-Free, 5 mL/bottle, 1 bottle/bag - 211252

GelNest™ is a basement membrane product identical in composition and performance to Corning® Matrigel® Matrix. GelNest™ Matrix extracted from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcomas using genetically identical mouse lines and SOP's. EHS tumors contain plentiful ECM proteins such as laminin (60% ), collagen IV (30%), heparan sulfate proteoglycans, nidogen (8%), and several growth factors. 

Part number 211252 is a high protein concentration version of GelNest™ Matrix with phenol red indicator included. While normal GelNest™ Matrix has a protein concentration of >8mg/mL, high protein concentration GelNest™ Matrix features a concentration >18mg/mL. 

Equivalent to Corning:

• 354248
• 354262

Please note this formulation contains phenol red as an indicator. When frozen the color may differ from yellow to dark red. This is normal and results from the interaction of carbon dioxide, the bicarbonate buffer and phenol red. The color variation is harmless and goes away when the product reaches temperature and carbon dioxide equilibrium in the incubator. 

Ideal for :

• Cell Growth and Differentiation Assays
• Metabolism/Toxicology Studies
• Cell Invasion Assays
• in vitro and in vivo Angiogenesis Studies
• in vivo Angiogenesis Experiments and Augmentation of Tumors in Immunosuppressed Mice
