Description
|
Lyophilized methacrylated gelatin. Methacrylated Gelatin provides 3D gelatin hydrogels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked (requires a photoinitiator) to provide various gel stiffness. Methacrylated gelatin is produced from methacrylated gelatin where the gelatin has been modified by reacting the free amines, primarily the ε-amines groups of the lysine residues as well as the a-amines groups on the N-termini. >75% of the total lysine residues of the gelatin molecule have been methacrylated. The photoinitiator consists of Irgacure 2959 to be formulated in methanol (methanol not included) which allows UV crosslinking of the collagen at 365 nm. This product is for R&D use only and is not intended for human or other uses. |
