General description

Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium 2 (Ready-to-use)

Application

Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium 2 is an optimized low-serum (5% V/V) medium that additionally contains Epinephrine. The combination of low serum and selected growth factors ensures successful growth in vitro making the Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium 2 the first choice for PromoCell Renal Epithelial Cells. The Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium 2 is optimized for primary human cells, but can also be used for porcine and mouse renal epithelial cells.Recommended for:Human Renal Epithelial Cells (HREpC)Human Renal Cortical Epithelial Cells (HRCEpC)

Components

Part of a Cell Culture System offered in a variety of formats:Growth Medium (Ready-to-use): Includes Basal Medium and SupplementMixGrowth Medium Kit: Includes Basal Medium and SupplementPackSupplementMix: Contains all media supplements premixed in one vialSupplementPack: Contains all media supplements as individual vials

Quality

All lots of PromoCell Renal Epithelial Cell Media are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human renal epithelial cells. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested renal epithelial cells. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).
