| Product Description | Gelatin is a heterogenous mixture of water-soluble proteins with high average molecular masses. Gelatin proteins are derived by denaturing collagen-rich tissue in water. The mechanical properties of gelatin, such as gel stiffness and compressibility, are related to the average molecular weight of the gelatin proteins and characterized by its Bloom number. |
| Application | Biomedical applications of human gelatin include coating tissue culture surfaces with a thin layer of protein to improve cell attachment for a variety of cell types. Due to the excellent biocompatibility of gelatin, it has been used to generate 3D scaffolds and hydrogels for tissue engineering applications, and as a delivery material to control the release of bioactive molecules. In the pharmaceutical industry, gelatin is used as an encapsulating agent and binder for tablet production. |
| State | Lyophilized |
| Biological Source | Human |
| Storage/Stability | Stored in airtight containers at ambient temperature (15-30 °C) upon receipt and prior to solubilization. |
| Shelf Life | 6 months after opening |
| Note | Human Gelatin can be reconstituted in 37°C water or PBS to the desired concentration with agitation/vortexing for several minutes. Dissolving time depends on the gelatin concentration but usually takes a few minutes for low concentration. Centrifugation might be used to remove undissolved particulate. After reconstitution, solution should be used immediately or stored at 2-10°C. Solubilized gelatin can be sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 µm membrane. |
