Epidermal Melanocytes — Neonatal, Highly Pigmented

Product Description

Lifeline^® normal Human Epidermal Primary Melanocytes – Neonatal, Highly Pigmented (HEMn-HP), when grown in Lifeline DermaLife M Melanocyte medium, provide an ideal low serum culture model, without PMA or Cholera toxin, for the accurate testing of compounds and for use in the study of cancer or dermal biology.

• Primary Melanocytes are directly cultured from their source organ tissue and have not been modified in any way. This helps avoid altering the outcome of your experiments.
• Primary Melanocytes can come from many donors, making your research outcomes more representative of the general population.

Lifeline Human Epidermal Primary Melanocytes Neonatal have been isolated, plated, and expanded in culture vessels twice before being harvested for cryopreservation to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency.

Our HEMn-HP are quality tested in DermaLife M Medium to ensure proper growth and morphology over a period of at least 15 population doublings.

Lifeline HEM are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in Lifeline medium, an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may negatively impact experimental results. Lifeline offers these traditional supplements; however they are not needed, or recommended, to achieve optimal cell performance in most research applications.
