Product Description
When precision matters in cell culture, r-Insulin ex. Human delivers consistent performance. This recombinant insulin is engineered for high bioactivity (25 USP U/mg) and ultra-low endotoxin levels (≤1.0EU/mg), ensuring minimal interference in sensitive experiments. Whether you’re culturing mammalian cells or optimizing media formulations, this insulin provides the reliability researchers demand.
Unlike animal-derived insulin, this human-sequence variant reduces immunogenicity risks while maintaining physiological relevance. Its lyophilized form guarantees stability during storage and reconstitution, making it a staple in labs focused on diabetes research, stem cell biology, or metabolic studies.

For researchers working with glucose-sensitive cell lines (e.g., beta cells, hepatocytes), this insulin’s USP-grade purity eliminates batch-to-batch variability. The product undergoes rigorous testing to confirm potency and endotoxin levels, with certificates of analysis available upon request. Pair it with our serum-free media supplements for optimized cell viability.
Storage tip: Reconstitute with sterile water or buffer (pH 2-3) and aliquot to avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Store at -20°C for long-term use.
FAQs
What’s the difference between recombinant and animal-derived insulin?
Recombinant insulin matches the human sequence exactly, reducing immunogenicity risks compared to bovine/porcine sources. It’s also more consistent for research applications.
Can I use this insulin for clinical trials?
No, this product is strictly for research use. Clinical-grade insulin requires additional regulatory approvals.
How do I reconstitute the lyophilized powder?
Add sterile water or acidic buffer (pH 2-3) to reach 1-10 mg/mL. Gently swirl—avoid vortexing to prevent denaturation.
What’s the shelf life after reconstitution?
Reconstituted insulin is stable for 1 month at 4°C or 6 months at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
