Product Title:
3D Keratinocyte Starter Kit including Human Primary Keratinocytes
3D keratinocyte starter Kit was developed for the establishment of 3 dimensional keratinocyte cultures on a porous membrane. Primary cells are cryo preserved at P2 and supplied with one 500 mL kit of CnT-57 medium (basal medium with frozen supplements), one 500 mL kit of CnT-02-3DP5 (basal medium with frozen supplements), stain solution and Millicell cell culture inserts.
Warning:
The cells are of human origin and should therefore be handled as hazardous. Although it has been tested negative for HIV 1, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, treat this material as potentially infectious, and use appropriate biocontainment, protective equipment and other precautions to prevent accidental exposure.
Species:
Keratinocytes: Human, pooled (3 or more donors), neonatal foreskin
Kit is developed for human keratinocytes but may be used for other species as well.

Cultivation:
For cultivation instructions, please see also general cultivation protocol, on our resources section.
Passaging:
Recommended seeding density after passaging: 4 x 103 cells / cm2.
For passaging instructions, please see also general cultivation protocol, on our resources section.
Av. Time to Confluence:
6 to 8 days for monolayer culture of keratinocytes (depending on temperature, seeding density and protocol)
Longevity:
Keratinocytes guaranteed to provide 20 population doublings when grown in a PCT medium.
Storage / Shelf Life:
Immediately upon arrival transfer the cryo vial to the liquid nitrogen container, until ready to use.
Medium storage: basal medium (BM) at 4°C in the dark, supplements (S) at -20°C. For expiry date refer to medium label.
Supplemented medium: 4°C in the dark, use within 8 weeks of supplementation. Do not freeze.
Important: The quality of cell culture media is rapidly degraded by light. Store in the dark, and minimize all light exposure during handling.
Millicell-PCF inserts: room temperature. One year from date of purchase.
CnT-ST: room temperature. One year from date of purchase.
