Recommended Medium: It is recommended to use Bronchial Epithelial Cell Medium (BEpiCM, Cat. no. SC3211) for culturing HBEpiC-a in vitro.
Product Use: HBEpiC-a 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.
