Description
High Concentration (HC) Basement Membrane Matrix features a high protein density formulation derived from mouse tumors. Enriched with ECM proteins and growth factors, it offers enhanced mechanical stiffness and stability. This phenol red-free matrix is ideal for angiogenesis assays, constructing solid 3D tumor models, and in vivo applications requiring a firm gel scaffold.
