I have 12mg collagen sheet and want to have a collagen solution in acetic acid. I made it soluble with homogenizer but in ELISA test I had variable data. How can I have a dispersed collagen solution?
In one experiment, I prepared collagen solution as follows. May be it may help you or not:
A stock solution of COL (2mg/ml) was prepared in 0.1 M acetic acid. The mixture was swirled gently, and placed at 4 ̊C for 4h to dissolve and than stored at 4 ̊C till use.
A working solution of COL (0.5mg/ml) was prepared with dH2O at room temperature (RT).
