Human Renal Medullary Epithelial Cells, Primary

Product Description

Lifeline^® normal Human Renal Medullary Primary Epithelial Cells, when grown in Lifeline RenaLife™ Renal Epithelial Medium, provide an ideal low-serum culture model for the study of renal function, fibrosis, inflammation, metabolism, nephrotoxicity or cancer.  Additionally, our normal human renal cells can be used for drug development or screening.

• Lifeline Primary Renal Cells can be used in high throughput assays, such as cytotoxicity and drug screening assays. Customers that use our Primary Renal Cells for these types of assays report high reproducibility with coefficients of variability below 10% (usually 4-8%).

Renal Medullary Primary Epithelial Cells are expanded in culture vessels once and then cryopreserved to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency.

• These Primary Renal Cells are isolated and directly cultured from human kidney tissue and have not been modified in any way, to avoid altering the outcome of your experiments.
• Primary Rental Cells can come from many donors, helping to ensure your research outcomes will be more representative of the general population, and without the acculumated mutations of immortal cell lines.

Our Renal Primary Epithelial Cells are quality tested in RenaLife Medium to ensure optimal reduced-serum growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than serum-supplemented medium.

Lifeline Renal Primary Epithelial Cells are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in RenaLife Medium, an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may negatively impact experimental results. Lifeline offers these traditional supplements; however, they are not needed, or recommended to achieve optimal cell performance in most research applications.

Quality Testing for Guaranteed Consistency and Reproducible Results
