VitroCol® Collagen

VitroCol® collagen is the first widely available, naturally produced purified human collagen for research purposes. VitroCol sets the standard for purity (>99.9% collagen content), functionality and represents the only native-like human collagen offered. VitroCol collagen is naturally secreted from human neo-natal fibroblast cells. The human fibroblasts are cultured in optimal conditions allowing the fibroblast to naturally and efficiently secret extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is then processed and purified to yield the naturally produced human collagen.

VitroCol is approximately 97% Type I human collagen with the remainder being comprised of Type III collagen. It contains a high monomer content as measured by gel permeation chromatography.VitroCol is especially ideal for human cell culture systems when coating of surfaces, providing preparations of thin layers of culturing cells, or use as a solid gel.
