Lipid-associated Macrophages, Liver (MT-0224-HM13)

We typically supply cryopreserved vials that have undergone a controlled-rate freezing process with validated cryoprotectants. Prior to release, each batch is tested using a standardized thawing protocol to confirm viability, adherence, and functional responsiveness. Shipments are made in dry shippers or on sufficient dry ice with temperature control.

Absolutely. The cells are processed and stored in a way that preserves RNA and protein integrity, making them suitable for transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies. Customers commonly use them to dissect pathway regulation under lipid overload or inflammatory stimulation. We can also provide recommendations on sample handling and timelines to help you obtain high-quality, multi-omics datasets from your experiments.

Yes. On request, we can apply defined metabolic and inflammatory stimuli to the macrophages, including free fatty acids, cytokines, or other modulators. These treatments are performed under controlled conditions, followed by functional validation to confirm the desired phenotype. This service allows you to receive cells that are already pre-conditioned to a disease-relevant state, saving time and simplifying your workflow.
