Cat. No.: BMMO-2603-CXX-003
Description: The basement membrane is a specialized stromal layer located on the basal side of epithelial cells. Matrigel, an organogel formulated from mouse tumor-derived basement membrane components, recapitulates this structure. It comprises laminin, collagen IV, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans and is further characterized by the presence of diverse growth factors, including EGF, PDGF, NGF, FGF-2, TGF-β, and IGF.

| Size | 1.5 mL×8 |
| Applications | Ideal for studies involving growth factors and signaling pathways, as well as research demanding highly defined basement membrane components. |
| Product Characteristics | This product is liquid at 4°C but forms a gel when heated to 37°C. Once solidified, the Matrigel can liquefy again if returned to 4°C overnight. |
| Storage | It is recommended that the product be aliquoted into single-use portions immediately after the first thaw and stored at -80°C for up to 2 years. |
| Shipping Information | Shipping with dry ice. |
| Notes | As this matrix gel solidifies when the temperature exceeds 10°C, it is essential to keep it on ice at all times during handling. To release organoids during passaging without exposing them to enzymes, gently pipette the gel using a pre-chilled basal culture medium (4°C). |
