Renal Proximal Convoluted Tubule Epithelial Cells

• ZenBio offers a normal human Renal Proximal Convoluted Tubule Epithelial cell system. • Renal proximal convoluted tubule epithelial cells (RPCTs) are an essential research tool for understanding a variety of biological processes in the kidneys. • They can also be utilized to determine renal toxicity of compounds as well as to study underlying causes and fundamental aspects of human kidney diseases. • These primary RPCTs are collected from unfractionated kidney cell preparations from normal, non-diseased human kidney tissues. • The cells can be cultured and expanded in ZenBio s unique renal epithelial cell culture media formulations delivering a robust renal cell culture for use in experiments and screening assays. • ZenBio provides RPCTs cryopreserved at 500,000 cells/vial along with 50ml of RPCT plating media (cat# RPCT-1) for each vial to establish initial culture. • Purity of each lot is verified using morphology and CD13 flow cytometry – ZenBio RPCTs are qualified at >80% CD13+ upon QC release. • Each lot of primary renal cells are tested and verified negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV I & II, Hep B & C, Syphillis and CMV.Custom donor specifications are available upon request and a number of different plate and flask formats can be customized to meet your particular research project needs. • Morphology: 24-48 hours after plating the cells should appear as crescent shaped cells.(Picture 1 and Picture 2). • Pictures and broadcast information are taken from the website https://www.zen-bio.com.
