Collagen-coated flasks for fibroblast growth and collagen production?

19 February 2021 0 8K Report

Hi!

Does anyone have experience with dermal fibroblast culture using collagen-coated flasks? Does the collagen on the flask surface impact the production of collagen by these cells (when compared with standard cell culture flasks)?

Thank you!
