The Rat Colon PrimaCell™ 2:Normal Colorectal Smooth Muscle Cells is for rapid (7-10 days) isolation and growth of rat colorectal smooth muscle cells from rat colorectal tumor tissues. This system features an optimal condition of tissue dissociation system, Colon 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.
