A novel extracellular matrix derived from human perinatal cells
Micrograph of CELLvo™ Matrix Plus, a novel extracellular matrix for supporting cell culture
CELLvo™ Matrix Plus, a new extracellular matrix product from StemBioSys, Inc., represents a paradigm shift in cell culture studies by recreating the biologically relevant microenvironment to which cells are accustomed. Unlike other commercially available extracellular matrices, CELLvo™ Matrix Plus is derived from human stem cells. This cell growth substrate is composed of more than 100 proteins secreted and assembled by human perinatal stem cells. The final decellularized product is available in multiple formats and only requires a brief rehydration step prior to use. In recent in-house studies, this novel extracellular matrix has been observed to enhance isolation, growth and differentiation of pluripotent cells as well as other adherent cell types. CELLvo™ Matrix Plus essentially mimics a cell’s natural environment by providing a native niche to which cells naturally home and adhere.
“CELLvo™ Matrix Plus is the newest extracellular matrix based on our unique CELLvo™ Matrix technology, a platform technology from which we’ve commercialized a variety of cell culture products including human cells for use by the biomedical research community,” says, Bob Hutchens, StemBioSys President and CEO. “We continue to enthusiastically invite scientists to exchange ideas and share new approaches,” he added.
CELLvo™ Matrix Plus is available in ready-to-use 6-well and 96-well plates, or 75 cm2 or 150 cm2 vented tissue culture flasks. Following rehydration, cells are cultured directly onto the dish containing the matrix proteins without any changes to normal workflow. CELLvo™ Matrix Plus is optically clear; cells grow in a monolayer allowing for beautiful brightfield imaging. Staining the cells for fluorescence imaging is also possible.
