Product Overview
Description
HEK293 cells are a remarkable and versatile immortalized human cell line that has established itself as an essential tool in the fields of molecular biology, virology, and biotechnology. Originating from human embryonic kidney cells, these cells possess a unique genetic profile and a well-documented transformation history that enhances their utility in research.
Their ability to proliferate indefinitely and their adaptability for various experimental applications make HEK293 cells invaluable for studying biological processes, testing drug effects, and producing viral vectors, among other purposes. Far more than mere “kidney cells in a dish,” HEK293 cells serve as a powerful platform for scientific discovery and innovation.
IMPORTANT: Quality warranty requires use of NeoBioPharma media. Biohazardous material despite negative pathogen testing. Quality claims must be reported within 1 month.
