Keratinocyte Cell Culture Systems
 | Our Primary Human Keratinocyte Cell Cultures are optimized to synthesize Keratinocyte Cells, the predominant cell type in the epidermis. The Keratinocytes found in the basal layer or stratum germinativum of the skin are sometimes referred to as basal cells or basal Keratinocytes.
