Description

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a potent, single-chain polypeptide that plays a critical role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to stimulate skin cell regeneration and wound healing, making it a highly sought-after active ingredient. This product is essential for manufacturers in the cosmeceutical, biomedical research, and advanced wound care sectors seeking to develop high-performance formulations.

Application

• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Key active in anti-aging serums, creams, and masks to promote collagen synthesis and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Biomedical & Cell Culture Research: Used as a supplement in cell culture media to stimulate the growth of epidermal and epithelial cells.
• Advanced Wound Healing: Incorporated into gels, sprays, and dressings to accelerate tissue repair in diabetic ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds.
• Hair Growth Solutions: Component in topical treatments and scalp serums aimed at revitalizing hair follicles and promoting hair growth.
• Ophthalmic Preparations: Used in formulations for corneal injury repair and dry eye syndrome treatments.
• Bio-engineering & 3D Tissue Culture: Essential growth factor for constructing skin models and other epithelial tissues in vitro.

Quality Control

Our Epidermal Growth Factor is produced under stringent conditions to ensure the highest standards of purity and biological activity. Each batch is subjected to a comprehensive battery of tests including HPLC for purity, SDS-PAGE for homogeneity, mass spectrometry for identity confirmation, and endotoxin testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing potency (ED50), purity, and sterility are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized powder at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C to -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
