Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes-Neonatal (HEKn)
Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes-Adult (HEKa)

Lifeline’s normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes (HEK), when grown in Lifeline’s DermaLife® K Medium, provides an ideal serum-free culture model, for the study of wound healing, toxicology or biology.

Cat-No.: Product Description Size
FC-0007 Cryopreserved Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes, Neonatal 500,000 cells/amp
FC-0025 Cryopreserved Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes, Adult 500,000 cells/amp
LL-0007 Dermalife K Complete Medium Kit Kit
LL-0029 Dermalife K Calcium-Free Complete Medium Kit Kit

Cell Features:
HEKn are cryopreserved after primary culture; e.g. cells are isolated from neonatal human foreskin and expanded
once before cryopreservation.

HEKa are cryopreserved after primary culture; e.g. cells are isolated from adult human skin and expanded
once before cryopreservation.

HEK can be grown without serum, phenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in DermaLife medium..

HEK are extensively tested and guaranteed for quality and optimal performance

Lifeline guarantees performance and quality.

The Lifeline Guarantee
Lifeline’s rigorous quality control ensures sterility and performance to standardized testing criteria. If Lifeline’s products do not meet your expectations or our posted performance and quality standards, we will replace them at no charge or provide a full refund. Upon request, Lifeline will provide lot-specific QC test results, material safety data sheets and certificates of analysis.

Safety Statement
This product is for research use only. This product is not approved for human or veterinary use, or for use in in vitro diagnostics or clinical procedures.

Lifeline’s HEK are cryopreserved after primary culture to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency. Our HEK are quality tested in DermaLife K Medium to ensure optimal serum-free growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than serum-supplemented medium. Lifeline’s HEK need not be exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in DermaLife medium; an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may negatively impact experimental results. Lifeline offers these traditional supplements; however they are not recommended to achieve optimal cell performance in most research applications.

Cell Count 500,000 cryopreserved cells per ampule
Serum Free Proliferation Population growth at various densities
Morphology Normal cell appearence for 15 population doublings
Cell Viability Minimum 50% viability when thawed from cryopreservation
Sterility Testing Negative for bacteria and fungal growth for 14 days
Virus Testing Negative for HIV, HBV and HCV by PCR
