Description
Normal primary adult melanocytes are a vital research tool for a variety of applications from malignant melanoma research to pigmentation studies as well as for cosmetics and skin biology programs. Bioarray isolates normal human adult melanocytes and evaluates purity and function using both Mel-5 staining and the conversion of L-dopa -> dopamelanin .
These adult melanocyte cultures are available at 95% purity and are recommended with optimized media formulated specifically to support growth and survival in vitro.

Do you have the report of melanogenesis for the melanocytes?

The cells have been tested for melanogenesis activity by immunofluorescent labeling of Mel-5 and L-dopa conversion activity. We don’t have a particular listing of each lot’s melanogenesis activity, however, each lot is tested for L-DOPA conversion as a QC measure of their capability to synthesize melanin. All of the lots that I have listed have passed our QC for Mel-5 positivity (>80%) and have been stained for L-DOPA conversion (but not quantified). We can provide the CoA for the specific lot that you will order.
