Rat Chondrocytes, Cryopreserved

P2 cells

Tissue Procurement: Rat cartilage tissue is harvested from the knee and hip joints of skeletally mature animals. 

Cryopreservation: Cartilage tissue is digested with a 2-step enzymatic treatment. The isolated chondrocytes are expanded through 2 passages and processed for cryopreservation. The cells are 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 Chondrocyte Growth Medium. 

Quality Control: Tested negative for fungal and bacterial contamination.
