Product Description
This Type IV Collagen is isolated from human placenta and is purified using a multi-step process. The product is supplied as a non-sterile powder containing 5 mg of Type IV collagen per vial. A Certificate of Analysis is available with the purchase of each product.
Type IVCollagenis the primary collagen found in the extracellular basement membranes separating a variety of epithelial and endothelial cells. It is a major component of the dermal-epidermal junction where it is mostly found in the lamina densa. It is a heterotrimeric molecule containing two Alpha 1-like and one Alpha 2-like chains.
Type IV Collagen is typically used as a thin coating on tissue culture surfaces. Specific instructions are found in the Directions for Use. This product is generally usedin vitroas a substrate scaffold to enhance cell attachment, adherence and proliferation. Type IV collagen may be used to culture epithelial, endothelial, muscle, nerve and many other cell types. Additionally, this product is suitable for use as a substrate for collagenase assays and positive controls.

Preparation Procedure
Note: This product is not sterile and is not intended for applications requiring sterile materials.
- Reconstitute the 5 mg vial with 5 ml of cold 0.25% acetic acid and mix by pipetting up and down several times. Allow to sit at 2 to 8°C swirling periodically for > 1 hour.Note: The resulting solution will be slightly hazy. If there are some insoluble materials present and you wish to remove it, centrifuge the materialfor approximately 2 minutes at 3000 RPM .
- Dilute the product to desired concentration with sterile 0.25% acetic acid if required.
Product Q & A
The Type IV collagen undergoes an enzyme step in the purification process, resulting in Atelocollagen.
