GIBCO® Hepatic Cell Culture Reagents
| Our hepatic cell culture reagents will help ensure the success of your metabolism studies. They have been optimized for use with our hepatocyte products by our scientific team allowing for the highest quality results. Invitrogen also offers a number of related hepatic cell culture media & reagents for customers isolating their own liver cells. |
Hepatic Cell Culture Media
Williams Medium E
We recommend a phenol red-free Williams Medium E. This is a nutrient-rich media for hepatocyte research involving LC-MS/MS analysis.
CHRM® Medium (Cryopreserved Hepatocyte Recovery Medium)
Cryopreserved Hepatocyte Recovery Medium (CHRM®) is a proprietary formulation designed to enhance the recovery of viable hepatocytes while removing cryoprotectant after cell cryopreservation. When used appropriately, CHRM® has proven to result in healthier hepatocytes with consistently higher viability (Figure 1).

Matricies
Collagen I, Rat Tail for Cell Culture
Collagen is the most widely used extracellular matrix (ECM) protein for cell culture, facilitating cell attachment and differentiation. In addition to our 5 mg/mL Collagen I solution, we also offer Collagen I precoated 6-, 24-, and 96-well plates for your hepatocyte experiments.
Geltrex™ Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix
Geltrex™ Matrix is a soluble form of reduced growth factor (RGF) basement membrane extract (BME) purified from continuous sheets of specialized extracellular matrix that form an interface between Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor cells. The Geltrex™ Matrix provides the foundation for three-dimensional (3D) culture studies.
