SpongeCol®

Overview

Type I collagen sponge SpongeCol® has an interpenetrating, columnar pore architecture. In applications involving tissue engineering, SpongeCol® offers a larger surface area for cell adhesion, growth, and migration.

With its special columnar porous network, SpongeCol® offers a larger surface area for cell adhesion, growth, and migration. It also allows nutrients and cells to pass completely through the interpenetrating pores.

Type I bovine collagen, which is the most supportive of cell attachment, proliferation, and function, makes up SpongeCol®. While still being biodegradable over a longer period of time, the collagen is lightly cross-linked to increase mechanical strength and durability for short and long-term tissue culture.

The pores have a diameter that varies from 100 to 400 µm, with an average diameter of about 200 µm. The collagen disc has a diameter of 4 mm, or 21 mm, and a thickness of 1.5 mm.

The sponge discs can be used with a 96-well culture plate (4 mm disc), a 12-well culture plate (21 mm disc), or sanitary luer connectors for flow perfusion. Each package has both 25 (4 mm) or 5 (21 mm) collagen sponge discs.

The product has undergone terminal sterilization and is prepared for use.
