| Product Description | The molecular weight of Poly-L-Lysine can vary significantly with lower molecular weight (30 kDa) being less viscous and higher molecular weight (>300 kDa) having more binding sites per molecule. This product’s molecular weight ranges from 70 to 150 kDa yielding a solution viscosity for easy handling while providing sufficient binding sites for cell attachment. |
| Application | Poly-L-Lysine is a synthetic amino acid chain that is positively charged having one hydrobromide per unit of Lysine. Poly-L-Lysine is widely used as a coating to enhance cell attachment and adhesion to both plasticware and glass surfaces. This molecule has been used to culture a wide variety of cell types. Certain cell types secrete proteases, which can digest Poly-L-Lysine. For those cell types, Poly-D-Lysine should be used. Poly-L-Lysine surface coatings are designed to improve cell attachment, growth and differentiation of many cell types. Coated surfaces will often improve cell attachment in reduced or serum-free conditions. |
