Corning? Matrigel? Matrix Phenol Red-free, *LDEV-free, 10 mL, is recommended for assays that require color detection (e.g. fluorescence). Corning Matrigel matrix is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in extracellular matrix proteins, including Laminin (a major component), Collagen IV, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.

Quality

• Mouse colonies routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing

• Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogensTested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma

• Protein concentrations determined by Lowry method

• Endotoxin units measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay

• Matrigel Matrix gel stability is tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C

• Biological activity is determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay.
