Recommended Medium: It is recommended to use Epithelial Cell Medium-animal (EpiCM-a, Cat. no. SC4131) for culturing BLEpiC in vitro.
Product Use: BLEpiC are for research use only. They are not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage: Upon receiving, directly and immediately transfer the cells from dry ice to liquid nitrogen, and keep the cells in liquid nitrogen until they are needed for experiments.
Shipping: Dry ice.
