1. A biomatrix scaffold produced by a method comprising:
- a) perfusing the biological tissue or homogenizing the biological tissue from the group consisting of liver, lung, thyroid, skin, pancreas, blood vessels, bladder, kidneys, brain, biliary tree, duodenum, abdominal aorta, iliac vein, heart, and intestines, with a first medium, wherein the osmolality of said first medium is from about 250 mOsm/kg to about 350 mOsm/kg and said first medium is serum free and at neutral pH;
thenb) perfusing the biological tissue or extracting the homogenate of step (a) with a delipidating buffer comprising lipases and/or detergents in said first medium, wherein the detergents do not comprise sodium dodecyl sulfate or Triton X-100;
thenc) perfusing the tissue or extracting the homogenate of step (b) with a buffer at a neutral pH and comprising a salt concentration from about 2.0 M to about 5.0 M NaCl;
thend) rinsing the tissue or homogenate of step (c) with a second medium that is at neutral pH, is serum-free and has an osomolality from about 250 mOsm/kg to about 350 mOsm/kg,thereby producing an intact or homogenized biomatrix scaffold from the biological tissue, said biomatrix scaffold comprising at least 95% of the collagens and most collagen-associated matrix components and matrix bound growth factors, hormones and cytokines of the biological tissue.

27. A cell culture substratum produced by a method comprising:
-
a) perfusing the biological tissue or homogenizing the biological tissue with a first medium, wherein the osmolality of said first medium is from about 250 mOsm/kg to about 350 mOsm/kg and said first medium is serum free and at neutral pH;
thenb) perfusing the biological tissue or extracting the homogenate of step (a) with a delipidating buffer comprising lipases and/or detergents in said first medium, wherein the detergents do not comprise sodium dodecyl sulfate or Triton X-100;
thenc) perfusing the tissue or extracting the homogenate of step (b) with a buffer at a neutral pH and comprising a salt concentration from about 2.0 M to about 5.0 M NaCl;
thend) rinsing the tissue or homogenate of step (c) with a second medium that is at neutral pH, is serum-free and has an osomolality from about 250 mOsm/kg to about 350 mOsm/kg, thereby producing an intact or homogenized biomatrix scaffold from the biological tissue, said biomatrix scaffold comprising at least 95% of the collagens and most collagen-associated matrix components and matrix bound growth factors, hormones and cytokines of the biological tissue e) freezing the biomatrix scaffold; f) preparing a frozen section from the biomatrix scaffold of step (e) as a cell culture substratum.
