Collagen

Rat tail collagen for coating of cell culture plates.


Quality control
For quality control purposes we measure synthesis and excretion of urea and serum proteins. The viability of our cultures is determined by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the culture medium.
We evaluate the quality of our cells on a daily basis by light microscopy, analysis of hepatocellular functions and LDH-release.
Analysis of the clinical chemical parameters is performed at the Institute of Laboratory Medicine at HELIOS Kliniken, Schwerin (ISO9001:2000 certified). Thereby, we achieve an independent external quality control of our hepatocyte cultures.
