Kollodis BioSciences is the first and leading company to commercialize recombinant mussel adhesive protein (MAP) and associated MAP-based smart biomaterials using its proprietary platform technology, MAPTrix™.
As a result of Kollodis' successful development of scaled-up processes for MAP manufacture, MAP-based smart biomaterials are currently poised for widespread use and growth in biotech, medical and industrial applications.
Kollodis BioSciences currently provides mussel adhesive protein (MAP) products as stand-alone adhesives (bioadhesives), ready-to-use adhesive kits, and specialized adhesives and products for cell culture, tissue engineering, and related applications- the MAPTrixTM ECM (Extracellular Matrix) line of products.
The Mussel Adhesive Protein based matrix MAPTrix™ ECM line of products are coating reagents with genetically incorporated bioactive peptides (recognition peptides) which mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) activity of collagen (MAPTrixTM C), fibronectin (MAPTrixTM F), laminin (MAPTrixTM L), vitronectin (MAPTrixTM V), cadherin (MAPTrixTM E), and heparin (MAPTrixTM H) proteins. The bioactive peptides mimic ECM proteins and provide for cell attachment, spreading and growth. The mussel adhesive protein confers biocompatible adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces. MAPTrixTM products are provided as ready-to-use aqueous coating formulations in convenient sizes (vials). Also available is our MAPTrixTM core product - recombinant mussel adhesive protein with no peptide incorporation.
Kollodis BioSciences also provides the MAPTrix HyGel™ line of products which are chemically well-defined hydrogel products for 3D cell culture and related applications; and, the MAPTrix™ GF line of products - small peptide mimics of natural growth factors incorporated into a mussel adhesive protein that show comparable biological activity to the naturally occurring growth factors.
Our MAPTrixTM products are ready-to-use aqeuous coating formulations that are biocompatible and free of animal-components, E. coli- proteins, and toxic chemicals. Our products are quality manufactured and performance tested in accordance with ISO/USP guidelines.
