Mouse chondrocytes

Cell Description
Chondrocytes exist in articular cartilage and are responsible for secreting type II collagen and other types of collagen, as well as non collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. The proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes are closely related to the development of the vertebrate skeleton. Chondrocytes can secrete and respond to a range of growth factors, including IGF-1 and IL1. Chondrocytes cultured in vitro are useful models for studying cartilage repair and arthritis pathology.
Cell characteristics

3) After identification, the purity of the cells was found to be higher than 90%.
4) Does not contain HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
5) Cell growth mode: spindle shaped, irregular cells, adherent culture.
Transportation and storage of products
Depending on the weather conditions and transportation distance, the company and the customer will negotiate and choose one of the following methods.
1) 1mL cryopreserved cell suspension is put into 1.8ml cryopreserved tube and transported in foam insulation box filled with dry ice; After receiving the cells, please thaw and revive them for cultivation as soon as possible. If resuscitation cannot be performed immediately, the frozen cells can be stored at -80 ℃ for one month.
2) The T-25 culture bottle is filled with culture medium and transported at room temperature; After receiving the cells, please observe the growth status of the cells under a microscope. If the bottle laying rate exceeds 85%, immediately perform passaging operation. If there are many suspended cells, please place the culture bottle in the incubator overnight to help non dead suspended cells adhere to the wall again.
