The upcyte® Hepatocyte Starter Kit contains 2 vials of cryopreserved upcyte® Hepatocytes, a bottle of Thawing Medium and High Performance Medium each.
We can offer you 2000+ vials per donor – data from different studies can be compared while working with the same donor.
Similar sensitivity to primary cells during screening phases can exclude compounds at an early stage, means toxic compounds do not reach animal testing stages.
Please note: these cells are already at a later state in proliferation terms. You can plate the cells at a density as low as 30% confluence to achieve 100% confluence after 4 days. Further expansion will lead to the cells expressing senescence genes and the phenotype is lost.
