Fresh CD1 Mouse Hepatocytes

View Products

PackagingSafety, Handling, and Storage

Our pooled freshly plated CD-1 mouse hepatocytes come with Matrigel overlay in a variety of multi-well formats. These plated hepatocytes are ideal for the study of long term metabolism (greater than 4 hours) or evaluation of drug candidates as inducers of CYP enzymes.  

For short term metabolism studies (less than 4 hours), our pooled fresh suspended CD-1 mouse hepatocytes are ideal.

Packaging

Plates
Collagen-coated plates with Matrigel overlay are available in the following formats:
    •    6-well plate
    •    12-well plate
    •    24-well plate
    •    96-well plate

Suspensions
Our fresh mouse hepatocytes are available per million cells with a 10 million cell minimum order.

Safety, Handling, and Storage

All procedures should be carried out in a biosafety containment hood when possible. This will not only reduce the risk of contamination of the cells, but it will also minimize contact with potentially hazardous material.
