Do bacteria lead to false positive MycoAlert® Results?

...is characterized by rapid appearance of turbidity in cell culture media. One of the dangers of mycoplasma infection is that they do not produce turbidity, hence the need for a test such as the MycoAlert® Assay....

What is a Clonetics™ or Poietics™ Basal Medium?

The Clonetics™ and Poietics™ Basal Media are primarily composed of trace metals, amino acids, vitamins, salts, and water. The basal medium contains no growth factors or antibiotics and is not sufficient to support cell attachment and growth...

Which reporter gene should I choose for my reporter gene experiment?

In general, all reporter genes can be used.For some applications (e.g. reporter gene experiments in various primary cells, experiments with late analysis time point due to starving and /or stimulation) a reporter gene with a longer half life than...

Why are Lonza’s adult melanocytes cultured with Endothelin-3 (ET-3) while the neonatal melanocytes are not cultured with this reagent?

Adult melanocytes typically have a very slow doubling time, especially in comparison to neonatal melanocytes. Endothelin-3 (ET-3) is added to adult melanocytes only to improve the doubling time and, in the process, help to maintain the cells...

Where are Lonza’s aortic adventitial fibroblasts (AoAF) isolated from?

...muscle cells, and the tunica adventitia is the outermost layer where the aortic adventitial fibroblasts (AoAF) are isolated from. Aortic adventitial fibroblasts (AoAF) are isolated from either ascending or descending aorta....

What does the message "weak" mean on the display of the Nucleofector® IIN, IIS or 2b after Nucleofection®?

...expected. So it is worthwhile to analyze the sample, keeping in mind that the transfection efficiency might be a bit lower. We don't recommend applying the pulse to the same cuvette again, as this will most likely result in high mortality of your cells....

How to prepare a BulletKit™ Medium?

...media can be stored at 4°C for up to 30 days. Exceptions include the ALI differentiation media, mouse and rat neuronal media, and preadipocyte media. Please see the specific cell instructions for more information....

What is the definition of a chemically-defined medium?  

...can contain recombinant proteins. Due to current developments in the cell and gene therapy industry, there has been an increased focus on contaminants that may cause unfavorable reactions with patient material.  ...

How can I run a standard curve for ToxiLight™ Non-Destructive Cytotoxicity BioAssay?

...a sample of their untreated cells at 56°C for 1h.Measuring this and then comparing it with the RLUs produced from their samples will enable them to determine percent cytoxicity if that is what they require....

What is the effect of pH on the Luciferase-based BioAssays (ViaLight™ Plus, MycoAlert®, ToxiLight®) Lonza is offering?

...but obviously if the pH is very low it will not be able to do this adequately.ViaLight™ Plus Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicity BioAssay should be the least affected by this as it works by acidifying the sample and then has a very strong buffering system...
