Comparison of Oridonin Cytotoxicity in U-2 OS and HepG2 Cells

14 Jul 2016

This method evaluates the effects of Oridonin on U-2 OS and HepG2 cells using the reagent CellTox™Green. The BioSpa™ 8 is used to manage several plates such that reagents are added periodically and the plates imaged such that both reagent concentration and exposure time are varied.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
