Hepatocyte Growth Supplement (HGS) is a medium supplement designed for the optimal growth of normal human hepatocytes in vitro. It is a sterile, concentrated (100X) solution which contains growth factors, hormones, and proteins necessary for the culture of normal human hepatocytes. The supplement is formulated (quantitatively and qualitatively) to provide a defined and optimally balanced growth environment that maximally promotes the growth of normal human hepatocytes in vitro. The supplement is designed as an additive for hepatocyte medium (HM, Cat. No. 5201) and should be used in conjunction with that medium.
Product Use
HGS is for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage
Store the HGS at -20°C before adding to hepatocyte medium.
