A broad spectrum of Basal Media is available to support the growth and maintenance of various cell types.
From male and female reproductive cells to dermal cells such as keratinocytes and endothelial cells, specialized media formulations provide the optimal nutrient and growth factor environment for specific cell populations. These tailored media formulations promote cell health, proliferation, and functionality, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in cell culture experiments.

Single LifeFactors and LifeFactor Kits: Tailored Supplements for Basal Media

To further customize cell culture conditions, LifeFactors and LifeFactor Kits offer a convenient way to supplement the various Basal Media with specific additives and supplements. These kits contain carefully curated components designed to enhance cell growth, specific cellular functions, and partly also differentiation. Whether optimizing culture conditions for a particular cell type or investigating specific biological processes, LifeFactors and LifeFactor Kits provide researchers with the flexibility to tailor their cell culture protocols to their unique experimental needs.

Take advantage of our Growth Media Complete Kits, containing the optimized Basic Media and  optimized LifeFactor Kit.

Among the most essential subculture reagents is Trypsin-EDTA, a potent enzyme mixture used to detach adherent cells from the culture surface. By cleaving cell adhesion proteins,Ttrypsin-EDTA facilitates the gentle detachment of cells, ensuring high cell yields with minimal cellular stress. This reagent is indispensable for routine passaging of adherent cell lines and the establishment of new cultures.

For researchers seeking to minimize the risk of introducing animal-derived components into their cell cultures, xeno-free trypsin-EDTA offers a viable solution. Xeno-free trypsin-EDTA provides the same robust performance as traditional formulations while meeting the stringent requirements of animal component-free cell culture systems. Xeno-Free Trypsin-EDTA contains human serum.
