The Human Cancer PrimaCell™ 6: Colorectal Tumor Cells is for rapid (7-10 days) isolation and growth of human colorectal tumor cells from human colorectal tumor tissues. This system features an optimal condition of tissue dissociation system, Cancer OptiTDS™ that yields 6-8 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.
