Rat Tail Collagen Type I, Sterile, Filtered, from Ace Therapeutics is a purified collagen derived from the rat tail. The Product can be used as a thin layer on tissue culture surfaces to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation, or as a glue layer to promote the expression of specific cell morphology and function. The product is typically used to culture endothelial cells, stem cells, muscle cells, and a variety of other cells.

Collagen Type V is found in the placenta, amniotic membrane, and cornea. Human Collagen Type V from Ace Therapeutics is a purified collagen from adult human placenta tissue. This product can be used as a coating on tissue culture surfaces to study the effects of collagen on cell behavior.

Bovine Collagen Type V (Atelocollagen), 1 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from bovine placenta.

Collagen Type IV (Human Placenta) from Human Cell Culture from Ace Therapeutics is derived from human placenta and is highly purified native, type IV collagen.

Bovine Collagen Type I, 10 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from bovine skin. 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.

Collagens Type IV is derived from bovine tissue treated with pepsin. This product does not gel and needs to be mixed with collagen type I-A.

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.

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.

Soluble Collagen TypeⅠ from Ace Therapeutics is purified fromBovine achilles tendon by the Birkedal-Hansen method.

Porcine Collagen Type I and III, 10 mg from Ace Therapeutics is purified from pig’s 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.
