Bovine Synoviocytes (also known as Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes or FLS), Cryopreserved

P1 cells

Tissue Procurement:  Bovine cartilage is derived from the metacarpalphalangeal joint (“knuckle”) of skeletally mature cows. Alternately cartilage can be harvested from the stifle joint (“knee”) or nasal septum for an additional procurement fee (please inquire).

Cryopreservation: Synovial tissue is digested with an enzymatic treatment. The isolated cells are seeded onto a flask and cultured until the first passage to remove any non-adherent cells. Synoviocytes (also known as synoviofibroblast cells) are processed for cryopreservation and combined with FBS containing 10% DMSO. Cryopreserved cells are shipped with dry ice for overnight delivery. Expect recovery ~1.0E06 cells, with a guaranteed minimum recovery of 0.5E6 cells after 1 week in culture with Synoviocyte Growth Medium.

Quality Control: Tested negative for fungal and bacterial contamination.
