In the meantime, there are several ways we can help you keep your research on track. Matrigel matrix, Collagen, and other Corning ECMs come in various volumes and formulations with several catalog numbers available and in some cases may be substituted for one another. Please reference the tables below to help you navigate our broad biological ECM offering.

A: Since the start of the global COVID pandemic in 2020, many life sciences companies have encountered record product demand and as a result, unprecedented lead times and product delays. Corning has also experienced this for some of our most popular products such as Matrigel matrix. Even two years later we continue to experience high levels of demand for biological ECMs, including Matrigel matrix and as a result a “rolling” backorder on certain catalog numbers.

A: Once Corning became aware of this surge in demand, we took multiple actions to address it, including diligently working to optimize and expand manufacturing capacity across our product offerings, with a focus on critical research products such as Matrigel matrix, Collagen, and other biological ECMs. These significant capacity increases have resulted in more ECM products flowing through our supply chain than ever before. While lead times for some ECM products are improving, we continue to experience high levels of demand for biological ECMs, such as Matrigel matrix. This continued high demand may mean that you have not yet felt the impact of our capacity improvements in product availability. We want to assure you that if you have not yet seen the results of our corrective actions, you will in coming months.

A: Matrigel matrix is being manufactured and shipped at record rates, and product lead times are improving each week. Returning to normal service levels is our number one priority and we expect these lead times to continue to steadily improve. We encourage you to place your orders ahead of time to account for extended lead times and to minimize any disruptions to your work.

Current lead times for Matrigel matrix vary by catalog number. The best place to find current information on estimated lead times is by visiting our e-catalog and searching for the specific catalog number.
