Cell culture reagents

Manufactured by Lonza
Sourced in Switzerland, United States, Belgium

Cell culture reagents are a range of products designed to support the growth and maintenance of cells in a laboratory setting. These reagents provide the necessary components, such as growth media, supplements, and solutions, to create an optimal environment for cell cultivation. The core function of these products is to facilitate the propagation and study of various cell types, enabling researchers to conduct experiments and investigations in a controlled and standardized manner.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity experiments were performed on a human lung cancer cell line—A549 (CCL-185; ATCC) cell line, obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC™, Manassas, VA, USA). The cell line was placed in a humidified incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37 °C in a DMEM medium, supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Cell culture reagents were obtained from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). For cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, cells were seeded at 3 × 106 cells per well and were left overnight before treatment. The following day, the cell samples were incubated with flavonolignans (silybin, silychristin and silydianin), in 3 concentrations (10–50–100 µM) for 24 h.

Characterization of Calu-3 Lung Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All cell culture reagents were purchased from Lonza Ltd. (Basel, Switzerland) unless stated otherwise. Human lung epithelial cells (Calu-3, ATCC HTB-55™) were selected due to their previous characterisation and study as targets of airborne particulate matter [51 (link),53 (link),69 (link),70 (link),71 (link)]. The immortalised cell line originated from a 25-year-old white male with lung adenocarcinoma. Calu-3 cells were maintained (until passage 20) in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (EMEM) supplemented with 10% (v/v) filter sterilised foetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco™, Thermofisher), 1% (v/v) non-essential amino acids, penicillin (50 units/mL), and streptomycin (50 µg/mL) at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Fluorescent and absorbance readings were conducted using a Tecan Infinite M200 pro spectrophotometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
