The Rat Kidney PrimaCell™ 4: Normal Renal Firbroblasts is for rapid (7-10 days) isolation and growth of normal renal firbroblasts from rat kidney tissues. This system features an optimal condition of tissue dissociation system, Kidney 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.
