PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

DESCRIPTION: FITC-labeled bovine type II collagen
APPLICATION: Use as a substrate for assaying mammalian collagenase activity
QUANTITY: 10 ml
FORM: 1 mg/ml solution in 0.01M acetic acid
SOURCE: Bovine articular cartilage
MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 300 kDa (molar ratio of collagen to FITC is approximately 1:1)
PURITY: >99% by SDS-PAGE
Background value is less than 0.1% (free fluorescence intensity (FI) extracted with 35% ethanol
at 25°C)
USAGE: FITC-bovine Type II collagen forms a stable gel in neutral buffer and can be used as a substrate
for assaying collagenase activity by the collagen-gel method.
STORAGE: -20°C in the dark. Collagen will gradually degrade under neutral conditions during long-term
storage at 4°C
STABILITY: 1 year
