Product Overview

Description

The bovine brain microvascular endothelial cell system (bMVEC-B) at Creative Biolabs is a model of the blood-brain barrier. The system is designed to significantly improve researchers' ability to study the active and passive transport of drugs across the blood-brain barrier, study the tight junctions of brain endothelial cells, and study the basic biological capabilities of brain microvascular endothelial cells.

Handling Advice

Frozen cells:Upon receipt, frozen ampoules should be transferred directly to gaseous phase liquid nitrogen without delay, unless they are to be used straight away.

Growing cells: Growing cell cultures should be checked on receipt using an inverted microscope. Immediately check the cell density upon arrival for any obvious defects. If the cell density is too high (more than 80% confluent) subculture the cells (harvest and reseed) immediately.

For detailed instructions on the thawing procedure of frozen cells and the culture of adherent or suspended cells, please feel free to contact us by email or phone.
