GelNest Matrix is, a basement membrane, is identical to Corning® Matrigel® Matrix in it's composition and performance. GelNest™ Matrix, extracted from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcomas, contain genetically identical mouse lines and SOP's. EHS tumors contain ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins — laminin (60% ), collagen IV (30%), heparan sulfate proteoglycans, nidogen (8%), plus growth factors.
