Quality

All lots of PromoCell Preadipocyte/Adipocyte Media are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human white preadipocytes. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested preadipocytes. In addition, the Preadipocyte Differentiation Medium/Adipocyte Nutrition Medium are tested for the capacity to induce the terminal differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).

Storage and Stability

Store the SupplementMix at -20°C in the dark immediately after arrival. If stored properly, it is stable until the expiry date stated on the label.
