Description

• Application: Gelatin has received significant attention in the biomedical field due to its inherent bioactivity. Low endotoxin gelatin from porcine skin, gel strength 300 bloom is a high bloom (high molecular weight) gelatin featuring less than 10 endotoxin units (EU) per gram[1]. Endotoxins primarily consist of lipopolysaccharides from the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Once in the bloodstream, endotoxins are capable of eliciting a strong immune response, potentially leading to fever, shock, a drop in blood pressure, and even potentially death[2][3]. In addition to this immune response, several reports suggest endotoxins may also damage various types of cells[4][5][6][7]. To avoid adverse effects, raw materials should contain the lowest level of endotoxins possible when used in biomedical or regenerative medicine research applications. This low endotoxin gelatin is derived from alkaline-treated porcine skin and has a variety of potential applications in the fields of regenerative medicine, medical devices, and tissue engineering research.
