Product Description
Raw Cell Line
Cells are of various human (A549 lung carcinoma, HCT116 colon carcinoma, HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells, Hela cervical carcinoma, Jurkat T lymphocytes, Ramos B lymphocytes, THP-1 monocytes) or murine (B16 melanoma, J774 and RAW 264.7 macrophages) origins. Our cell lines are stably transfected with reporter constructs encoding the secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) secreted Lucia luciferase gene downstream of a response element that is specific for the signaling pathway being studied.cell lines are available for double readout with both SEAP and Lucia luciferase
Reliable Source for Immunology and Inflammation ResearchRAW Cell Line (RAW 264.7) is highly favored for studying immune mechanisms, cytokine production, and inflammation pathways. These mouse-derived macrophage cells exhibit robust adherence and high post-thaw viability, making them ideal for in vitro assays and advanced cellular research.
Strict Quality Controls and Proven AuthenticationEach batch undergoes comprehensive testing for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma, ensuring consistent reliability. The cell lines STR profile is provided for authentication, while additional documentation such as the certificate of analysis is available to verify compliance and quality.
Easy Handling, Storage, and ShipmentCells are prepared for convenience with options for frozen (shipped on dry ice) or live (ambient temperature) formats. Proper long-term storage in liquid nitrogen preserves frozen vials for up to two years. Live cultures must be reacclimated in a 37C, 5% CO2 incubator and used immediately after thawing.
FAQs of Raw Cell Line:
Q: How do I properly store and handle the RAW Cell Line after receiving it?
A: Frozen vials should be stored in liquid nitrogen at 196C for long-term preservation. Upon thawing, immediately transfer cells to DMEM with 10% FBS and incubate at 37C with 5% CO2. Live cultures must be handled promptly and maintained under appropriate growth conditions.
Q: What are the recommended culture conditions for RAW 264.7 cells?
A: Cultivate RAW 264.7 cells in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum, in an adherent growth mode. Maintain them in a humidified incubator at 37C with 5% CO2. Regular passage is advised, as their doubling time ranges from 12 to 18 hours.
Q: When should I use RAW Cell Line for my experiments and research?
A: Utilize RAW 264.7 cells for in vitro assays involving immunology, cytokine studies, and inflammation research. Thanks to their monocyte/macrophage lineage, these cells offer reliable modeling for immune system mechanisms and cellular responses.
Q: Where are RAW Cell Line products tested for quality and authenticity?
A: RAW 264.7 cells undergo testing for contamination (bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma) and authentication via Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling prior to distribution. Distributors in India adhere to rigorous validation standards and provide documentation upon request.
Q: What is the process for ordering and shipping RAW 264.7 cell line in India?
A: Orders can be placed through authorized distributors, importers, or suppliers in India. Frozen vials ship on dry ice, while live cultures ship at ambient temperature to ensure cell integrity and high viability (>90%). A certificate of analysis is available upon request.
Q: How does using RAW Cell Line benefit my immunology or inflammation research?
A: RAW 264.7 cells provide a consistent, highly characterized platform for studying macrophage activity, cytokine production, and inflammatory processes. Their high purity, reproducibility, and reliable growth kinetics facilitate meaningful and reproducible experimental outcomes.
