Native Bovine Type II Collagen, FITC-tagged

• Cat.No.: Collagen-121B
• Product Overview: Native Bovine Type II Collagen was extracted from bovine articular cartilage and purified by DEAE Anion Exchange Chromatography.

Specification

• Species: Bovine
• Source: Bovine Articular Cartilage
• Tag: FITC
• Description: FITC-labeled bovine type II collagen substrate is an excellent substrate for examining collagenase activity. This labelled substrate is highly purified and telo-peptide free and is supplied as solution in acetic acid. To minimize background levels in collagenase assays, FITC-labeled collagen has been enzymatically pre-treated and further purified by ion-exchange chromatography. FITC-labeled collagen can also be used as a substrate for cell culture. Collagen degradation products in the culture supernatants can be directly determined by measured the flourescence at 520 nm (Emission)/490 nm (Excitation).
• Form: Provided as a 1 mg/ml solution in 0.01M acetic acid.
• Molecular Mass: ~1000 kDa
• Purity: >95%
• Applications: Substrate; Used for the assay of mammalian collagenase activity.
• Storage: Product should be stored at -20°C. Aliquot to avoid freeze/thaw cycles
