These are described as highly characterised cells suitable for use in a wide range of applications including cosmetic, pigmentation and toxicology studies as well as research into malignant melanoma and dermal disorders.

“In many cases, epidermal melanocytes which have been subjected to a variety of environmental exposures such as UV damage, wounds, burns and various pathogenic insults offer researchers a cell type that yields more relevant and meaningful experimental results,” says Lonza.

Clonetics Adult Melanocytes are available as cryopreserved amps, proliferating plates or proliferating flasks.
