Collagen I is found in most tissues and organs, but is most plentiful in dermis, tendon, and bone. Used as a thin coating in cell and tissue culture, it is often used to enhance cell attachment and proliferation. When applied as a gel it can be used to promote expression of cell-specific morphology and function. Collagen I is commonly used to culture endothelial cells, hepatocytes, muscle cells, and a variety of other cell types. The HC formulation of rat tail collagen I is used for three dimensional applications requiring a sturdy gel that provides a maximal 3D support matrix (guidelines are included with product).
