What is the difference between the MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® PLUS Assay?

Both assays use the same assay principle, but MycoAlert® PLUS Assay luminesces much brighter than the original MycoAlert® Assay. Because of the higher light output MycoAlert® PLUS Assay may be used on luminometers that were not...

What is the percentage of purity of Lonzas Normal Human Osteoblasts (NHOst) cells?

It is not easy to put an exact number to the purity of the NHOst populations because the tests used are all functional assays: alkaline phosphatase production and bone mineralization, which unless you have synchronized cultures, not all the cells are...

Are Lonzas Normal Human Osteoblasts (NHOst) contact inhibited?

No, Lonza’s Normal Human Osteoblasts (NHOst) are not contact inhibited and tend to grow on top of each other after becoming confluent.

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...

What percentage of most microvascular lots are lymphatic derived cells (LEC)? What percentage of most microvascular lots are blood vessel derived cells (BEC)?

Each lot of our Human Microvasculare Endothelial Cells - dermal (CC-2543 and CC-2516) and our Human Microvasculare Endothelial Cells - Lung (CC-2527) is tested for the percentage of LEC (double-positive for CD31+ and Podoplanin) and BEC (positive for...

What is the difference between the FBM Fibroblast Growth Basal Medium CC-3131 and the SCBM Stromal Cell Growth Basal Medium CC-3204? Can the FBM Basal Medium and the SCBM Basal Medium be used interchangeable? Is there a phenol red free version of the FBM Basal Medium?

The FBM™ Basal Medium and the SCBM™ Basal Medium are essentially the same except that the FBM™ Basal Medium contains phenol red and the SCBM™ Basal Medium does not. The FBM™ Basal Medium and the SCBM™ Basal Medium can always be used interchangeably...

Where are Lonzas lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) isolated from?

Lonza’s lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) are isolated from the tissue directly beneath the outer lining of the lung. All vessels isolated are smaller than can be seen with the naked eye.

What additional donor information is available for Lonzas diseased airway cells?

In addition to the standardly available donor information (age, gender, race), Lonza can provide the following additional information for most lots of our diseased airway cells: - smoking history (including volume and duration), - any medications...

Why is the morphology of Lonzas 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...

Will Lonzas diseased airway cells retain their diseased phenotype throughout culturing?

With limited exceptions, Lonza does not test the diseased cells as part of our standard Quality Control testing in a manner which would validate the disease diagnosis. All of Lonza’s diseased airway cells are cultured using the same medium and...
