iMatrix-221 Cardiac and Myoblast Cell Culture Substrate
NP892-061 / NP892-062
Brand: iMatrix
iMatrix-221 is a xeno-free, recombinant Laminin-221 E8 Fragment expressed in CHO-S cells. Laminins of the α2-isoform are commonly found in the basal lamina of striated muscle and the predominant form found in adult human heart tissue.

Product Information
iMatrix-221's features make it an ideal matrix for some cell culture applications:
- Xeno-free formulation / CHO-S cell bioproduction
- Easy to use (liquid format)
- E8-fragments retain integrin binding specificity and capacity, and display higher potency than natural Laminin-221
iMatrix-221 is a highly purified and refined product of human recombinant laminin-221 (E8 fragment) expressed by CHO-S cells. Laminin-221 is found predominantly in the basal lamina of striated muscle tissues. Expression deficiencies are implicated in muscular dystophy and cardiomyopathies.1
Laminins of the α-2 type are also a predomiant form found in the human adult heart tissue.2 Cultivation of iPSC-drived cardiomyocytes on iMatrix-221 has been demonstrated to maintain strong contractility in attached monolayer culture.3
