Mouse Collagen Type I (Atelocollagen) from Ace Therapeutics is purified from the mouse tail tendon. Type I collagen is found in connective tissues and is the major component of tensile strength of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The product is widely used as a thin layer on tissue-culture surfaces to enhance the attachment and proliferation of a variety of cells including endothelial cells, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, epithelial cells, etc. In addition, the product can self-assemble into a 3-D supramolecular gel in vitro as an ideal biological scaffold.

Collagen from Human Placenta is used to induce differentiation of endothelial cells and rat pluripotent cells. This product is a lyophilized powder that can be reconstituted at 1 mg/mL in sterile 0.5 M acetic acid, PBS, or water.

Rat Collagen Type I and III, 10 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from rat tissue. Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen and is found in connective tissues including tendons, ligaments, dermis, and blood vessels. Type III collagen is the second most abundant collagen in tissues and is found most commonly in tissues exhibiting elastic properties such as skin, lungs, intestinal walls, and walls of blood vessels, which resembles other fibrillar collagens in structure and function.

Bovine Collagen Type VI, Lyophilized, 0.1mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from the bovine placenta. The product is the major collagenous component of microfibrils in elastic fibers and in a larger variety of tissues, which consist of two α-chains of ca.

Rat Tail Collagen Type I, High Concentration, Sterile, Filtered, from Ace Therapeutics is a highly concentration, purified collagen derived from the rat tail. This product is more suitable for 3D cell culture due to the high concentration improves matrix stiffness and support integrity.

Human Collagen Type III, 0.1 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from human cartilage. Type III collagen is the second most abundant collagen in tissues and is found most commonly in tissues exhibiting elastic properties such as skin, lungs, intestinal walls, and walls of blood vessels, which resembles other fibrillar collagens in structure and function. Type III collagen together with type I collagen are the main constituents of the interstitial matrix.

The rat tail collagen I provided by Ace Therapeutics is prepared according to the Birkedal-Hansen method through acetic acid extraction, sodium chloride precipitation, and disodium hydrogen phosphate precipitation. This product is derived from a rat tail, dissolved in 0.02M HAc solution, and the purity is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE, and it is sterile.

Human Collagen Type II, 0.1 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from human cartilage.

Collagen Type VI is a multi-domain ECM. Its heterotrimeric chains pack into a microfibrillar network through tetramerization and tail-end linkage. Human Collagen Type VI from Ace Therapeutics is a purified collagen from adult placenta tissue. This product is usually used for coating and can also be added to cell culture fluid.

Collagen Type IV is a common component of the basement membrane. Mouse Collagen Type IV from Ace Therapeutics is a purified collagen derived from murine engelbreth-holm-swarm (EHS) tumor, and the product can be used to regulate cell growth, differentiation, and tissue formation.
