Yes

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

Dry ice

Storage

Shipped on Dry Ice. Store in liquid nitrogen.

Handling Advice

Upon arrival, the sample vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase instead of -80°C. Storage at -80°C will cause loss of vitality.

1. Thaw the vial in a 37°C water bath for about 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension to a 15 mL conical tube containing pre-warmed 5 mL complete medium DMEM + 10% FBS, and rotate 125 x g for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet with 1 mL of pre-warmed complete medium DMEM + 10% FBS, and distribute it into a 25 cm2 culture flask, which contains 10 mL of pre-warmed complete medium DMEM + 10% FBS.
4. Incubate the culture with 5% CO2 in a 37°C incubator.
5. The recommended subculture ratio is 1:4-1:6. When cells grow at 80-90% confluence and divide, the cells should be passaged.

Research Use Only

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Warnings

Store in gas phase of liquid nitrogen immediately upon receipt. This product is stable for 6 months when stored as directed.

Quality Control

Mycoplasma was tested for sterility, post-freezing viability, and short-term repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification. Cytochrome oxidase I (COI) was analyzed for cell line species identification.
