Nest Scientific
NEST GelNest Matrix, Phenol Red-Free, LDEV-Free, 5 mL/bottle, 1 bottle/bag - 211222
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 211222 is the same best selling ECM formulation but without the phenol red indicator. Phenol red can exhibit estrogenic activity in some cell lines. Likewise removing the phenol red also makes this formulation ideal for colorimetric assays.
