Corning® Matrigel® Matrix: Thawing Best Practices

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers were looking for a way to grow mouse sarcoma cells. The solution? The development of Corning Matrigel matrix. Matrigel is a solubilized 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, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.Today, Matrigel, a natural ECM-based hydrogel is among the most widely used models for 2D and 3D cell culture in vitro. Corning matrigel hydrogel enables you to:Improve the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epithelioid cells, as well as other cell types.Better mimic in vivo environments for 2D and 3D cell culture applications."We are very proud to be an authorized distributor of CORNING in Karnataka."
