Has my Collagen gelled already?
FAQ from Trevigen

Our 5 mg/ml rat collagen I (cat#s 3440-100-01; 3447-020-01) is not pepsin treated, so it has intact telopeptides and is highly viscous. It is provided in acetic acid and requires pH neutralization prior to use. Do not to attempt to pipet this material using a graduated 1 ml pipette or narrow bore tip. Rather, we recommend using blue pipette tips (200-1000uL capacity) that are clipped with sterile scissors to create a wide bore. Also, please consult the provided product data sheet for pH neutralization instructions.

We also offer 3 mg/ml Cultrex® Rat Collagen I, Lower Viscosity (cat# 3443-100-01).
