ZDF Rat Diabetic Prostate Fibroblasts

Product Description

ZDF Rat Diabetic Prostate Fibroblasts from Cell Biologics are isolated from Prostate tissue of male, 9 week old laboratory ZDF rat. Cells are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics Culture Complete Growth Medium for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 0.5x10⁶ cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Product Testing

ZDF Rat Diabetic Prostate Fibroblasts from Cell Biologics are tested for negative expression of von Willebrand Factor Expression/Factor VIII, cytokeratin 18, and alpha smooth muscle actin. Rat Primary Aortic Fibroblasts are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
