Background
Honeycomb Sponge is made from type I atelocollagen and possess honeycomb-like pore structure with high pore density. This honeycomb structure enables easy supply of nutrients to cells and excretion of waste products from cells.

Applications

  • 3D cell culture
  • Scaffold for regenerative medicine research
  • Sustained release of bioactive substances

Features

  • Unidirectional pore structure facilitates cell migration and vascularization in vivo
  • Cells can be easily harvested by collagenase treatment.

This product is manufactured in Japan and produced from raw materials obtained from livestock certified born and raised in Australia or New Zealand. Japan, Australia and New Zealand are all recognized by the World Health Organization as having negligible risk for Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (BSE). Nevertheless, please consult with your country's Customs office to confirm importability.
