General description

Fibroblast Growth Medium (Ready-to-use)

Application

Fibroblast Growth Medium is a serum-free medium optimized for the cultivation of neonatal and juvenile fibroblasts. The medium is optimized for primary human cells, but can also be used for bovine, porcine, and rat fibroblasts as well as fibroblast cell lines.Recommended for:Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDF), juvenile foreskin

Components

Part of a Cell Culture System offered in a variety of formats:Growth Medium (Ready-to-use): Includes Basal Medium and SupplementMixGrowth Medium Kit: Includes Basal Medium and SupplementPackSupplementMix: Contains all media supplements premixed in one vialSupplementPack: Contains all media supplements as individual vials

Quality

All lots of PromoCell Fibroblast Growth Medium are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human fibroblasts. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested fibroblasts. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).

Preparation Note

Final supplement concentrations after addition to the basal medium:Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (recombinant human): 1 ng / ml Insulin: 5 µg / ml
