Description
Porcine Mammary Fibroblasts from Creative Bioarray are isolated from breast tissue of porcine. Porcine Mammary Fibroblasts are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution and incubated in Creative Bioarray Complete Growth Medium. The cells are shipped at passage 2. Each vial contains at least 0.5x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
Quality Control
Porcine Primary Mammary Fibroblasts are tested for negative expression of von Willebrand Factor Expression/Factor VIII, cytokeratin 18, and alpha smooth muscle actin. Porcine Primary Mammary Fibroblasts are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Creative Bioarray. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Storage and Shipping
Creative Bioarray ships frozen cells on dry ice. On receipt, immediately transfer frozen cells to liquid nitrogen (-180 °C) until ready for experimental use.
Never can cryopreserved cells be kept at -20 °C.

Is there a requirement for cell volume when freezing cells?
There will be some cell death during cell recovery, so the concentration of cells should be high enough to start at a concentration of 106-107 cells/ml/tube.
