SHWE-HSB Supplement, Lyophilized

NumberingSHWE-HSB

Product Overviews

SHWE-HSB is a polysaccharide polymer isolated from microalgae. It promotes cell adhesion and proliferation. Unlike traditional extracellular matrices composed of polypeptides (such as RGD) or proteins (like fibronectin and laminin), SHWE-HSB is thermostable up to 100°C and remains stable across a wide pH range (pH 2 to pH 12). NMR analysis confirms that SHWE-HSB is a single, negatively charged polymer with a molecular weight between 280 and 320 kDa.
 

Application

  • Functions as an extracellular matrix to support cell attachment to plastic surfaces.

  • Serves as an attachment factor for various adherent cell types.

  • Supports the growth of stem cells in 3D cultures, such as hydrogels.

 

Features and Advantages

  • Enhances cell culture performance

  • Plant-based and free of animal components

  • Provides repeatable and reliable results

  • Maintains cellular morphology

  • Delivers high quality and high proliferation yields

SHWE-HSB Extracellular matrix
SHWE-HSB is a polysaccharide polymer isolated from microalgae. It promotes cell adhesion and proliferation. SHWE-HSB has been shown to enhance stem cell growth when incorporated into hydrogels and to promote cell attachment by increasing the hydrophilicity of plastic surfaces when used as a coating.
