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.

What is the amount of DNA needed per well when using the 96-well Shuttle® Device?

The amount depends on the cell type and on the DNA construct. As a rule of thumb 400 ng of DNA per well should be applied. However, for some cells or constructs even 100 ng may be sufficient.

What is the best way to centrifuge Human Hepatocytes prior to Nucleofection™?

In order to avoid cell compaction in the pellet and difficulties in cell resuspension, we recommend using round bottom 2 ml vials or 50 ml BD Falcon™ tubes for all centrifugation steps prior to Nucleofection™.

What is the advantage of the Nucleofector® Technology over common electroporation (systems)?

High cell viability and high transfection efficiency with the Nucleofection® Technology are the most prominent features. Nucleofection®, i.e., the transfer of DNA into the nucleus and not only the cytosol, is essential when working...

Can serum be used with Lonza's SAEC’s?

No. Serum will induce squamous differentiation of primary airway epithelial cells. Our SAGM™ Small Airway Epithelial Cell Growth Medium BulletKit CC-3118 does not contain FBS or any other serum.

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.

I transfected neurons using the 4D-Nucleofector® Y-Unit. After Nucleofection®, there were precipitates in my culture. What can I do?

Most likely there was too much Nucleofector® Solution left before medium addition. Please try to aspirate solution after Nucleofection® as complete as possible without disturbing cell adherence, but add medium quickly to avoid cells...

Can I use the settings recommended for the Nucleofector® I/II or 2b System with my 4D-Nucleofector® System?

No, the 4D-Nucleofector® is optimized for conductive polymer electrodes, while the Nucleofector® I/II or 2b System is working with electrodes made of aluminium.We recommend doing a quick cell line optimization using our Cell Line...

What media can the CD14+ Monocytes be cultured in to maintain the monocyte phenotype?

CD14+ Monocytes can be cultured in IMDM + 10% FBS to help maintain the monocyte phenotype. The cells will slowly become adherent but it can take a week to get good adherence. M-CSF (10 ng/ml) will induce a little proliferation and increase adherence...

Why does Lonza recommend two different concentrations of the B-Glycerophosphate in the Normal Human Osteoblasts (NHOst) differentiation protocol?

Lonza R&D has found some NHOst cell strains to be more sensitive to B-Glycerophosphate than others. While it is necessary to differentiate, at too high of concentrations the cells will lift off dish, curl up and die. As such, Lonza recommends...
