What are the benefits of using agarose for protein gel electrophoresis?

Protein electrophoresis in agarose gels is an alternative approach to using polyacrylamide gels and provides several benefits: - Separate high molecular weight proteins (>600 kDa)- Easy to prepare and handle- Efficient recovery of proteins-...

Can the ProSieve™ Molecular Weight Markers be used on native gels?

No, they are suitable for use on denaturing gels only.

How is the B-ALI™ Media System performance tested?

The media system is performance tested with our pre-screened NHBE cells and that system is guaranteed to form ciliated, mucous-producing cells after 3 weeks of culture.

I am using your ProSieve™ Color Protein Markers and the molecular weights (MW) of my protein of interest is not what I expected when compared to the ProSieve™ Markers. Why is this?

The proteins in our ProSieve™ Color Markers are made of proteins that are individually prestained using colored dyes.The level of dye bound can affect the migration of the protein and this can vary slightly lot to lot. Therefore, it is important to...

In Air-Liquid-Interface (ALI) Culture, won't the apical surface of B-ALI™ Cells dry out?

No, the cells secrete fluid at the apical side but also moisture is drawn through the cell layer from the basal layer.

What growth factor is pertinent in chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells?

TGF-B3 has worked best in our hands so that is what we recommend.

What passage are your B-ALI™ (Bronchial Air Liquid Interface) cells when plating on transwells?

The cryopreserved epithelial cells, that are screened and guaranteed for differentiation in B-ALI™ (Bronchial Air Liquid Interface) are in P1, the cells plated in transwells are P2. We do not recommend expansion of the cells before...

Are there any substitutions that can be used in place of the HSA in the freezing media for hMSC's (Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells)?

Cryopreservation may compromise cell quality and performance. Lonza CANNOT guarantee performance of Clonetics™ & Poietics™ Cells that have been cryopreserved outside of Lonza. To avoid loss of cells and forfeiture of your warranty, we recommend...

How many culture/trans-wells does your B-ALI™ Media Kit kit provide?

1 Ampoule of Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (NHBE) + 1 B-ALI™ Media Kit will make one 24-well plate for at least 1 month of culture & cells will display beating cilia within 25 days.

What types of gels do you have for the FlashGel™System?

We offer FlashGel™ Cassettes for DNA, DNA recovery and RNA separation. FlashGel™ DNA Cassettes are available at either 1.2% or 2.2% agarose, and in 12+1 single-tier (13 wells) or 16+1 double-tier formats (34 wells). FlashGel™ DNA Recovery Cassettes...
