Collagen-based Cell Contraction Assay
Specifications | |
---|---|
Product Category: | Cell Contraction |
Product Description
- Uses a 3D collagen matrix to measure changes in the collagen gel size
- Assess cell contractivity and screen for cell contraction mediators
- Includes optional cell contraction inhibitor
The two-step attached model combines an initial period of attached matrix contraction leading to mechanical loading, followed by release of the matrices, resulting in mechanical unloading and further contraction as mechanical stress dissipates. Cell Biolabs’ Collagen-based Contraction Assay Kit provides a simple system to assess cell contractivity in vitro and screen cell contraction mediators.
