Collagen is an important protein found in the extracellular matrix that provides strength and structural integrity to tissues. It is widely used in medical, pharmaceutical, and consumer products and is derived from animal remains, making it readily available and inexpensive. However, non-purified forms of collagen can potentially cause inflammation in some users and there is concern about contamination with the agent responsible for diseases like mad cow disease. Animal collagens undergo extensive modifications throughout their lifespan, resulting in variations in extractability and physical characteristics. Because of this, collagens obtained from tissues can vary significantly and are difficult to analyze. Furthermore, products containing animal-derived collagen can trigger inflammatory or immune responses in humans and carry the risk of viral or prion contamination, which can be life-threatening. On the other hand, recombinant collagens are nearly identical to natural collagen, thereby minimizing the risk of inflammation, immune response, and disease compared to collagen sourced from animals.

Product Details

Product Description

Bovine Collagen-III is a type of collagen protein derived from the connective tissues of cows. Belonging to the collagen family, it is a fibrous structural protein that provides strength and support to various tissues in the body. With a molecular weight of approximately 300 kDa, Bovine Collagen-III plays a significant role in maintaining the integrity of skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Its extraction from bovine sources ensures a reliable and abundant supply for various biomedical and cosmetic applications.

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-III although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Collagen-III 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 20 mM acetic acid to prepare a working stock solution of 1-5 mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Suspension should be shaken or stirred for several hours or overnight between 2-8°C.
