Application
MaxGel™ ECM is used for the following applications:
This product creates a three-dimensional environment that improves cellular proflieration by promoting cell growth and migration, and has been shown to aid the proliferation of many types of cells, including human embryonic stem cells, neural stem cells, neurons, glia, astrocytes, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and keratinocytes.
Other Notes
MaxGel ECM contains human extracellular matrix components including collagens, laminin, fibronectin, tenascin, elastin and a number of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. This basement membrane extract reproduces the cooperative interactions between epithelia and mesenchyme that occur during the development and organotypic cell culture of skin.

Hello there, Could you please provide the reconstitution details of this item(cat# E0282), I would like to know the ratios for example is it 1:100 etc.
1 answer-
For monolayer culture or when a thin coating of BME is desired, dilutions of as high as 1:100 can be used. An empirically determined dilution should be performed depending on the particular application. Human embryonic stem cells and keratinocytes grow well when cultured on a 1:100 dilution of MaxGel ECM.

Can this product also be used for cell differentiation?
1 answer-
The impact of extracellular matrix on cell differentiation can vary from cell type to cell type. This product is derived from human basement membrane extract that includes several components, many of which are not defined. Cell differentiation may be induced by the structural environment or other components present within the matrix. The end user would have to determine the suitability of the product based on the cell or tissue type of interest.
