How are plated hepatocytes shipped to customers?
Plated cells are shipped in media with cold preservation buffer, then vacuum sealed and surrounded by cold packs. For more information, see technical information under fresh hepatocyte products for handling of plated cells. • How do I handle the cells when I receive them? We provide detailed instructions on handling the cells. We also provide a small amount of the appropriate media for handling with our cryopreserved cells only. Please refer to our manuals for additional information. • How long do I have to wait before receiving the cells? We do not ship cells domestically on Friday. In general, preadipocytes (in culture or cryopreserved) can be shipped the second day after the purchase order is confirmed. Adipocytes are shipped within two weeks unless we have differentiated cells in stock. Please inquire as to the availability of the adipocytes when ordering.
