Short Term Hepatocyte Culture Medium (HM)

Many research applications can be performed in only short-term cultures of primary hepatocytes. The Hepatocyte Medium (HM) is the cost saving medium alternative for short-term cultures of fresh isolated human and animal (mouse, rat, dog, monkey, rabbit and minipig) hepatocytes for up to 6-7 days. It is serum-free, chemically defined and free of growth factors.

Hepatocyte Medium (HM) is a ready to use medium available at 500 ml or 250 ml packages.

Benefits:

• Perfect short-term medium to obtain higher cell viability at proper cell morphology.
• Optimized for human hepatocytes
• Suited also for dog (beagle), monkey (cynomolgus), minipig, rabbit, rat, mouse and other mammal hepatocytes.
• Maintains and supports efflux and uptake transporter activities
• Anabolic hepatocellular functions like blood synthesis (albumin production) are maintained for about 1 week.
• Catabolic hepatocellular functions like the urea cycle (detoxification of ammonia) are maintained for about 1 week.

Applications

• Study of metabolic processes.
• Drug metabolism and other cytology studies.
• Pharmacological studies.
• Hepatotoxicity studies.
• Basic research and drug discovery studies.
• Drug-drug interaction studies.
• Analysis of transporter activities.
• Employment in bioprocess assays for the development of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and therapeutics.
