Tissue Culture Media

MacConkey II Agar is a selective and differential medium for the detection of coliform organisms and enteric pathogens. BD products are intended for sale/shipment within the US only. International customers should contact their local BD distributor to place orders for BD products.

Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is a common cell culture medium developed from early work using Basal Medium Eagle (BME) with normal mammalian fibroblasts and certain subtypes of HeLa cells. This research indicated that additions made to BME aided cell propagation. MEM is modified with higher...

Corning BioCoat Gelatin cultureware provides an attachment and growth promoting substrate for the culture of a variety of cell types. Gelatin is commonly used in the culture of vascular endothelial cells, muscle, embryonic stem (ES) cells, and F9 teratocarcinoma cells. It is also suitable for...

Phenol red 0.5% Solution in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline. Used as a pH indicator in cell culture media.

Technical Advantage:  Lower documented Endotoxin content then offerings from other major suppliers. Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) is a buffer used to maintain a physiological pH for cells maintained in non-CO2 atmospheric conditions.  This formulation is produced without sodium...

Poly-D-Lysine (PDL) and Poly-L-Lysine (PLL) are synthetic compounds that enhance cell adhesion and protein absorption by altering surface charges on the culture substrate. In addition to promoting cell adhesion, poly-lysine surface treatments support neurite outgrowth and improve the survival of...

RPMI 1640 is suitable for a wide range of anchorage independent cells. RPMI 1640 Medium is commonly supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). With 2.0 g/L sodium bicarbonate With HEPES buffer Applications RPMI-1640 medium was developed by Moore et al., at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, hence...

Human Fibronectin (HFN) is a widely distributed glycoprotein that is used as a substrate to promote attachment of cells through its central-binding domain RGD sequence. HFN is a product of most mesenchymal and epithelial cells and is present in both the ECM and plasma. The principal function of HFN...

Type IV Collagen is a ubiquitous component in basement membranes and provides the major structural support for this matrix. When the Collagen IV meshwork is assembled, it provides a scaffold for the assembly of other basement membrane components through interactions with laminin, entactin/nidogen,...

Trypsin is used to enzymatically release adherent cells from tissue culture plates for passaging.  Divalent cations such as calcium and magnesium, which are often present in the cell culture environment, inhibit this action.  EDTA sequesters these ions and thus enhances the efficacy of...

McCoy’s 5A Medium is a general purpose medium that supports the propagation of many types of primary cells, established cell lines, and explants from biopsy tissues. With L-glutamine and Phenol Red McCoy’s 5A Medium uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10%...

Trypan blue 0.5% Solution in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline. Used for live-dead cell counting.

The Corning portfolio of cytokines, growth factors, and media supplementation offers a wide array of proteins that result in proliferation or differentiation of the affected cells. Vialed, highly purified growth factors with high biological activity Broad range of highly purified natural and...

Corning extracellular matrices (ECMs) enable researchers to mimic in vivo environments for 2D and 3D cell culture applications.

Collagen I, found in most tissues and organs, is most plentiful in dermis, tendon, and bone. It is an integral part of the framework that holds cells and tissues together and has been recognized as a useful matrix for improving cell culture. in vitro use of collagen can exert effects on the...

Kanamycin is used to select for mutated or transformed cells that are kanamycin resistant. In research labs, there are several commonly used kanamycin resistance genes (e.g., aph, ntpII , and aaC-aphD ). Typically, low-copy-number plasmids require less kanamycin than high-copy-number plasmids. 50...
