The IHC Select® Immunoperoxidase Secondary Detection System is intended for use with the CHEMICON IHC Select® Prediluted Primary Antibody reagents, which contain rabbit and mouse IgG for the qualitative identification of antigens by light microscopy in paraffin-embedded tissues. The IHC Select® Immunoperoxidase Secondary Detection System may also be used with other rabbit or mouse primary antibodies. The IHC Select® Immunopero…

Live cell tracking of single cell or cell population migrationEstablishes a stable and linear concentration gradient that lasts ≥ 48 hoursHelps distinguish chemotaxis from random movementAllows for multiparametric analysis, including cell directionality and velocityEnhanced optical imaging of slow- and fast-migrating cellsAnalyze 3 chemoattractants in parallel for increased throughput and flexibilityNo need to spend time or mo…

ECGS is mitogenic for many types of cells under reduced or serum-free conditions, such as mammalian, avian and human endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, melanocytes and hybridomas; ECGS often fully substitutes for feeder layers in culture of fastidious cells.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. Xu, et al. demonstrated that bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proli…

The Mammalian Cell Transfection Kit is an optimized system suitable for the introduction of DNA into mammalian cells. DNA is introduced to the cells as a calcium phosphate precipitate. Transfected cells integrate and express the exogenous DNA at a higher efficiency, producing stable clones of the specifically altered genotype and phenotype. This system has been used to introduce various plasmids into a broad range of cell line…

Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a Hank's based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. This reagent does NOT contain porcine trypsin or any other protein. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cyto…

Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a PBS based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cytotoxic effects sometimes associated with 0.5 mM EDTA. It can be used to…

ReNcell VM is an immortalized human neural progenitor cell line with the ability to readily differentiate into neurons and glial cells. ReNcell VM was derived from the ventral mesencephalon region of human fetal brain. Immortalized by retroviral transduction with the v-myc oncogene, this cell line grows rapidly as a monolayer on laminin with a doubling time of 20-30 hours. Karyotype analyses indicate that the ReNcell VM retain…
