Schwann Cell Data

Quality Counts
Though rare, we occasionally have clients challenge the phenotype of our 21-CFR compliant human primary cells. This challenge is usually a result of  certain markers not being expressed when they run immuno-fluorescence assays.

When this happens, we too test the cells in question using the antibodies against the markers in question. We have a world class team doing immuno-fluorescence assays.

Recently a customer claimed our schwann cells were negative for GFAP and P0. Here're our testing results.

For P0 (CH23009) we used green fluorescence +DAPI.

For GFAP (RA22101) we used red fluorescence + DAPI (blue) counterstain

We take these challenges for seriously and will always test the same lot of cells internally to make sure they are "walking and talking" as advertised.

Primary Human Cells Data

Internal Testing

We are data hounds. This is especially true when customers generate results that conflict with ours. For example, if our Human Primary Cells, in the hands of our customers, stain negative for key markers, we always retest using a 3rd Party Lab. Here're recent results for our Human Schwann Cells.

Neuromics' Schwann Cells stained with O1 Antibody (red) and DAPI (blue). 

Neuromics' Schwann Cells stained with s100 antibody (red) and DAPI (blue).

It is imperative that all our cells work as advertised. If your results do not meet expectations, we will run similar tests to make sure they walk and talk as they should.

Primary Human Schwann Cells

Research Ready

Our Schwann Cells have proven "rock solid" in the hands of our users.

Human Schwann Cells (HSwC) are isolated from the human spinal nerve. HSwC are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HSwC are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to S100, GFAP, and CD90

Human Brain Cells

Our Expertise
When researchers are considering using our human brain cells, they often voice concerns about growth. In order to address these concerns, we explain that we have optimized our media and coatings in order to meet their assay needs.

Here's an example of how our human brain pericytes grow over time.

We have primary human neurons, astrocytes, microglia and Schwann cells.
