Description
High Concentration Basement Membrane Matrix (with Phenol Red) is a dense formulation extracted from mouse tumors, boasting elevated protein concentrations compared to standard matrices. Rich in ECM components and growth factors, it provides superior structural support. It is specifically optimized for demanding applications like in vivo angiogenesis assays and the construction of robust 3D tumor models.

Precautions
1. Thaw on ice within a 4°C environment. Aliquot and freeze immediately. 2. Ensure all consumables are cooled beforehand. 3. Avoid holding tubes in bare hands to prevent gelling. Restore fluidity at 0-4°C for 1-2 hours if needed. 4. Color shifts are normal (phenol red/CO2 interaction) and do not affect utility. 5. Research use only; not for medicinal or household use. 6. Operate with safety gear (gloves/lab coat).
