Description
Lyophilized, highly purified Type I Telocollagen (Cat. No. PRO-2002) is isolated via acid-based extraction that maintains the fibrillar structure of the native protein and preserves the superior physical and mechanical properties of the collagen found in tissues (such as the high tensile strength). PRO-2002 is extracted from porcine tendon tissue sourced from strictly controlled herds, complying with all EU regulations.
Applications
Extracted telocollagen is biocompatible and biodegradable and thus suitable for a wide range of research applications. PRO-2002 is ideal for:
- In vitro cell cultures
- Coating for cell cultureware surfaces (dishes, plates, etc.)
- 3D cell cultures (high stiffness scaffolds)
- Tissue engineering applications

Reconstitution
- PRO-2002 may be reconstituted to a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 mg/ml when used as a coating agent and as chemoattractant.
- For the production of collagen gels, a concentration of 3 mg/ml may be used (fast gelation assays - cells will be trapped throughout gel matrix).
- To reconstitute, add 0.1M acetic acid or 0.01M HCl to the vial and let it stand (no stirring) until lyophilized telocollagen dissolves completely. Keep temperature low (2 - 8°C) while processing to prevent gel formation.
Storage/Expiration
Product ships at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at the temperature recommended below:
