Why is the morphology of Lonza’s lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) CC-2527 different from most other endothelial cells?

While most endothelial cells will have a “paving stone” type morphology, Lonza’s lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) will generally appear more stretched and elongated, especially at low confluence. This is a normal morphological...

Why do we recommend that MycoZap™ Reagent 1 treatment must be conducted in media containing a maximum of 5% (v/v) serum? What happens if by mistake a higher serum percentage was used?

As serum is complexing the MycoZap™ Reagent 1 you would decrease the effective concentration and thus inhibit the elimination reaction. If by mistake the elimination was started with higher serum concentration, no elimination took place. The process...

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 as...

Where are Lonza’s Normal Human Neural Progenitor (NHNP) and Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) cells isolated from?

Lonza’s Normal Human Neural Progenitor (NHNP) and Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) cells are primarily isolated from the cerebral cortex (or forebrain from cerebral hemisphere) from fragmented fetal brain tissue (16-20 weeks old).

How much data can be stored on the Lucetta® 2 Luminometer AAL-1002

The Lucetta 2 Luminometer has a high data storage capacity with maximum storage of up to 2000 single sample readings.

Are Lonza’s human mammary epithelial cells tested for estrogen receptor response?

Unfortunately, Lonza has not thoroughly investigated the estrogen receptor response/response to estrogen of the mammary epithelial cells being isolated in the HMEC product.

Do the FlashGel™ Visualization Glasses protect against UV light?

Yes. They block UV exposure up to 400nm and “blue light” between 400 and 510nm. They meet OSHA requirements and ANSI Z87.1.

Where are Lonza’s NHOst CC-2538 cells isolated from?

Lonza obtains our Normal Human Osteoblasts (NHOst) from the spongy section of the bone head of ribs, femur, radius, fibula or tibia.If you would like to know, from which specific bone your lot of NHOst has been isolated, just contact our Scientific...

How should I dispose of the FlashGel® Cassettes?

Dispose of the cassettes the same way you dispose of ethidium bromide stained gels. Follow state and local guidelines for disposal of these materials.

Can I cast my own gels to run on the FlashGel® Dock?

No. These cassettes are unique and proprietary. In order to use this system a special buffer, stain, and cassette are required.
