Mycoplasma Testing

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Sterility Testing

Sterility testing was performed in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Genetic Stability Testing

Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

Shipping

Frozen (Dry Ice/Liquid Nitrogen)

Storage

Keep frozen in liquid nitrogen until plating

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.

Research Use Only

Restricted Use For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Warnings

Store under recommended storage conditions (liquid nitrogen). Do not expose to high temperature. After expiration, discard all remaining reagents. It is recommended to use cells within ten generations.

Q&As

What are the key features of the SHT290 that make it suitable for studying drug delivery across the BBB?

The SHT290 model features high transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) values, indicating tight junction integrity, crucial for BBB studies. It also provides reproducible results, consistent barrier properties, and compatibility with various assays, including permeability, toxicity, and transport studies. These attributes make it ideal for evaluating drug candidates' ability to penetrate the BBB effectively.

How do I culture the SHT290 model in my lab, and what are the maintenance requirements?

Culturing the SHT290 model involves specific protocols to ensure the integrity of the BBB. Begin by seeding the cells on a compatible insert, ensuring optimal cell density. Regularly monitor TEER values to assess barrier integrity. Maintenance requires changing media every 2-3 days and maintaining the culture under standard conditions of 37°C and 5% CO₂, ensuring a healthy and functional model.

How does the SHT290 model compare to other in vitro BBB models available on the market?

The SHT290 model is distinguished by its high reproducibility, physiological relevance, and tight junction integrity. Unlike some models that may use non-human cells or lack key cellular interactions, the SHT290 employs human-derived cells, offering a more accurate representation of the human BBB. Its robust performance in permeability and transport studies makes it a preferred choice for many researchers.
