The Rat Brain PrimaCell™ 5: Normal Cerebral Venous Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells is for rapid (7-10 days) isolation and growth of normal rat cerebral venous vascular smooth muscle cells from newborn or adult rat brain tissues. This system features an optimal condition of tissue dissociation system, Brain OptiTDS™ that yields 5-7 times of single cells more than most of the tissue dissociation protocols published in the literature. In addition, this system ensures a high viability of the target cells with improved gradient contained in the culture medium. With CHI's proprietary fibroblast inhibitory system, FibrOut™, cells are growing with minimal amount of the unwanted cells such as fibroblasts.
