3D-K-50
3D Keratinocyte Starter Kit without Human Primary Keratinocytes
3D keratinocyte starter Kit was developed for the establishment of 3 dimensional keratinocyte cultures on a porous membrane. 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.
Kit is developed for human keratinocytes but may be used for other species as well.
3D-K-50 is a kit consisting of:
