RabHSteC from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from rabbit liver. RabHSteC are cryopreserved after purification and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 105 cells in 1 ml volume. RabHSteC are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to α-smooth muscle actin. RabHSteC are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. RabHSteC are guaranteed to further expand for 10 population doublings under the conditions provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories.
Recommended Medium: It is recommended to use Stellate Cell Medium (SteCM, Cat. no. SC5301) for culturing RabHSteC in vitro.
Product Use: RabHSteC 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.
