Human Vitronectin

Supplier: Advanced Biomatrix

Vitronectin is a monomeric glycoprotein used to promote cell attachment, migration, proliferation and differentiation in a broad number of cell lines and types. This product has been purified from human plasma where it is found as a mixture of 75kDa and 65kDa polypeptides.

Vitronectin’s primary use in cell culture is related to cell adhesion. It also binds to heparin and collagen.

Vitronectin is ideal for coating of surfaces. The optimal concentration for cell attachment and culture may differ for various cell types. Vitronectin has been used at a final coating concentration as low as 50 ng/cm2 on plasticware. It is provided in user-friendly packaging for use and storage. Vitronectin is sterile filtered and is supplied as a ready to use solution after thawing and concentration adjustment. This product is shipped separately on dry ice.

Poly-L-Ornithine

Supplier: Advanced Biomatrix

Poly-L-Ornithine is a synthetic amino acid chain that is positively charged having one hydrobromide per unit of ornithine. Poly-L-Ornithine is widely used as a coating to enhance cell attachment and adhesion to both plasticware and glass surfaces.

The molecular weight of Poly-L-Ornithine can vary significantly with lower molecular weight (30,000 Da) being less viscous and higher molecular weight (>300,000 Da) having more binding sites per molecule. This product’s molecular weight ranges from 70,000 to 150,000 Da yielding a solution viscosity for easy handling while providing sufficient binding sites for cell attachment.

Poly-L-Ornithine surface coatings are designed to improve cell attachment, growth and differentiation of many cell types. Coated surfaces will often improve cell attachment in reduced or serum-free conditions. This product is supplied in a sterile 50 ml package size at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml.

CELLvo™ Osteoarthritic Human Chondrocytes P0 (50-70y), StemBioSys

Supplier: StemBioSys

CELLvo™ Ostoeoarthritic Human Chondrocytes (50-70y) are primary, uncultured cells isolated from recently-diseased cadaver cartilage from donors between 50 and 70 years old. Osteoarthritis status is determined by macroscopic inspection using a modified Outerbridge (1960) scale. Cells are isolated by enzymatic digestion prior to cryopreservation.

CELLvo™ Healthy Human Chondrocytes P0 (50-70y), StemBioSys

Supplier: StemBioSys

CELLvo™ Healthy Human Chondrocytes (50-70y) are primary, uncultured cells isolated from recently-diseased cadaver cartilage from donors between 50 and 70 years old. Healthy status is determined by macroscopic inspection of the tissue using a modified outerbridge (1960) scale in order to distinguish healthy joints from those with signs of osteoarthritis. Cells are isolated by enzymatic digestion prior to cryopreservation.
