Recognizing that collagen provides an exceptionally useful matrix for enhancing cell culture, Corning has developed a broad range of collagen types derived from multiple species to support your diverse needs. These high quality collagen surfaces undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent results. Corning Collagen surfaces can be applied as a thin coating, and in some cases, as a gel on a wide range of cultureware, providing the flexibility you need for diverse cell-based assays.
