RabRPTEpiC from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from rabbit kidney. RabRPTEpiC are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 105 cells in 1 ml volume. RabRPTEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibody specific to cytokeratin-18. RabRPTEpiC are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. RabRPTEpiC are guaranteed to further culture under the conditions provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories; however, RabRPTEpiC are not recommended for long-term cultures due to limited expansion capacity and senescence after subculturing.
Recommended Medium: It is recommended to use Epithelial Cell Medium-animal (EpiCM-a, Cat. no. SC4131) for culturing RabRPTEpiC in vitro.
Product Use: RabRPTEpiC 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.
