General description

Hydrocortisone has the potential to induce the formation of blood-brain barrier properties in serum-free culture media. It is recommended for use in epithelial and endothelial adherent cell culture applications.

Application

Hydrocortisone-Water Soluble has been used as a supplement in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM)/high glucose medium to culture mammary alveolar (MAC-T) cells. It has also been used to study its effect on cation absorption by semicircular canal duct epithelium via epithelial sodium channel.

  1. Dopo avre sciolto in acqua Hydrocortisone (H0396) a che temperatura deve essere conservato?

    1 answer
    1. Stock solutions may be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage, the stock solution may be stored at -20°C in aliquots for 6 - 12 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. This product is not sterile. Stock solutions should be filter sterilized using a 0.22 micron filter.

  2. Which temperature would you suggest to store "400 mg/mL stock solution"? and for how long? Do you suggest to prepare H0396 in a sterile environment and further filter working solution using the 0.22um filter before cell culture use?

  4. How do I calculate the molarity of product H0396, Hydrocortisone-Water Soluble?

    1 answer
    1. Product H0396 (Hydrocortisone-Water Soluble) is a complex of Hydrocortisone and cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin is used to aid in the solubility of Hydrocortisone into water. In order to prepare a molar solution of Hydrocortisone you will have to base it on the Hydrocortisone content in the solution and not the entire complex.  Product H0396 is formulated to contain approximately 85 mg Hydrocortisone per gram of powder.  Based on this average, if you are preparing a 400 mg/ml stock solution, there will be approximately 34 mg of Hydrocortisone in 1 ml.  Below is the calculated molarity of Hydrocortisone when the complex is dissolved at 400 mg/ml in water. molecular weight X unknown molarity X volume = complex weight X complex ratio362.46 g/mol X Molarity X 1 ml = 400 mg X 0.085        Molarity = 0.094 MHydrocortisone molecular weight = 362.46 g/molmolarity (unknown) = mol/Lvolume = 1mlcomplex weight = 400 mgcomplex ratio = 85 mg Hydrocortisone/1 gm complex

    Great supplement for endothelial cell culture

    Really good as a supplement to the M199 medium when wanting to culture primary human endothelial cells. As it is water soluble, you do not have to dissolve it in chloroform or ethanol like the other hydrocortisone products - it will dissolve directly into your medium of choice.
