Hepatocytes Cell Culture Media
Complementing the widest selection of hepatocyte products on the market, we also provides several hepatocyte media for the thawing, plating, and culture of fresh and cryopreserved, human and animal, primary hepatocytes. Each medium has been optimized and formulated to meet the specific needs of various hepatocyte applications.

HEPSPAN™ LONG-TERM CULTURE PRIMARY HEPATOCYTE MEDIUM
Current standard monolayer hepatocyte cultures are typically functional in culture for 5 to 7 days. There is an increasing need for longer term cultures of hepatocytes to study liver toxicity, drug metabolism, drug interactions, viral infection, inflammation, liver development and regeneration. In order to extend the functional life of hepatocytes in culture, we have developed HepSpan™ medium, a long-term culture of primary hepatocyte medium which maintains the morphology and function of primary hepatocyte in standard 2D cultures for 4 weeks (human hepatocytes), 3 weeks (rat hepatocytes) and 2 weeks (mouse hepatocytes).
HepSpan™ medium is optimized for primary hepatocyte to enhance cell viability, function and long-term maintenance. HepSpan™ is a better representation of the liver’s extracellular environment for the initiation and maintenance of primary hepatocytes long-term cultures.
Hepatocyte Plating Medium (250mL)
Catalog No: HP 250 - Price: $150.00
Description
Hepatocyte Plating Medium is a complete medium designed for the plating of fresh animal and human hepatocyte cells. It was tested and optimized with fresh animal and human hepatocyte growth and proliferation in vitro. It is formulated for use with 5% CO2 and 95% air in a humidified incubator.
The medium consists of 200 ml of basal medium (containing essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors, trace minerals), supplemented with hepatocyte growth supplement, antibiotics, and fetal bovine serum.
