HCerEpiC from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from human uterus. HCerEpiC are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 105 cells in 1 ml volume. HCerEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to cytokeratin-18. HCerEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HCerEpiC are guaranteed to further expand for 10 population doublings under the conditions provided.
Recommended Medium: It is recommended to use Cervical Epithelial Cell Medium (CerEpiCM, Cat. no. SC7061) for culturing HCerEpiC in vitro.
Product Use: HCerEpiC 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.
