Collagen A

This product is identical to Biochrom GmbH part number L 7220. It is a 0.1 % Collagen solution in HCl, type I, 1 mg/ml. Collagen A is used to coat culture flasks. Growth and differentiation of cells in vitro are significantly influenced by the substrate used (glassor plastic). If culture flasks are coated with attachment factors such as Fibronectin, Collagen, Gelatine or Polylysine, better cell growth is often achieved. Thus, for example, the survival time of hepatocytes on Collagen can be up to one month.Furthermore, due to attachment factors the tendency of many cells towards de-differentiation is prevented.
