Collagen is a fibrous protein found in the extracellular matrix that gives tissues their structural integrity. It has been used in medical, pharmaceutical, and consumer products for over a century. While collagen derived from animal remains is readily available and inexpensive, it is often not highly purified and can cause inflammation in some users. Furthermore, there are concerns about contamination with the agents that cause mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Animal collagens undergo extensive modifications over time, leading to variations in their extractability and physical characteristics. This makes them difficult to analyze and subject to lot-to-lot variability. Additionally, products containing animal-derived collagen can induce harmful immune responses and pose a risk of virus or prion contamination. In contrast, recombinant collagens are nearly identical to natural collagen, reducing the risk of inflammation, immune response, and disease compared to those sourced from animals.

Product Details

Product Description

Bovine Collagen-I is a type of collagen derived from the connective tissues of cattle, specifically from their skin and bones. As a member of the collagen protein family, it plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity and strength of various tissues in the body. With a molecular weight typically ranging from 300 to 400 kDa, Bovine Collagen-I serves as a vital component of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and skin, contributing to their overall stability and elasticity. Its extraction and utilization have found applications in various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical research.

Product Guarantee

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Storage Instruction

Lyophilized Collagen-I although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Collagen-I should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

It is recommended to Add 0.1M acetic acid pH 3.0 to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 1-5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
