Cell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
The maintanence, expansion, and assay of many stem cell and precursor cell cultures relies on media rich in a variety of factors, often supplied by fetal bovine serum (FBS). Such sera must be carefully controlled and tested. Specialty Media utilizes sera that are approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure that sera are free of diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). A Certificate…

Withdrawal of the growth factors from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium w…
The Mouse Neural Stem Cell Expansion Medium allows for the growth and proliferation of mouse neural stem cells. This product includes the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium and the supplements bFGF, EGF, and Heparin. Withdrawal of the growth factors and heparin from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium will result in the spontaneous differentiation of mouse neural stem cells.
MilliTrace Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Expansion Medium is a complete ready-to-use expansion medium optimized for the culture of MilliTrace GFP Reporter Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. Puromycin Solution is provided to help maintain the expression of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled transgene.
The Cardiac Stem Cell Maintenance Medium has been optimized and qualified for the growth and expansion of cardiac stem cells derived from rodent origins. Cells expanded in Cardiac Stem Cell Maintenance Medium express the correct cardiac stem cell markers and are furthermore capable of differentiating into cardiomyocytes.
ESGRO Complete™ Basal Medium is a defined serum-free medium developed for use as a base medium for differentiation studies, for serum free culture of ES cells when used with LIF and BMP, and during routine washing steps when passaging cells.
ESGRO Complete™ Accutase™ is a cell detachment solution of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes that has been qualified for use for the detachment of mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in serum-free conditions with ESGRO Complete™ Clonal Grade Medium (Cat. No. SF001-500). Accutase™ does not contain mammalian or bacterial derived products.
Embryonic Stem Cell Lines derived from murine strain C57/BL6J selected for high targeting efficiency and proven germ line transmission. Cells are supplied as 2.5 x 106 ES cells per vial (approximately 2.5 population doublings per passage, shipped frozen on dry ice) and are supplied at passage 12. This ES cell line has been pre-adapted to serum-free and feeder-free cell culture conditions and is intended for use with the ESGRO…
Applications for Rat ESGRO® include use as a reagent for the in vitro maintenance of rat ES cells. Studies have demonstrated that rtLIF is more effective in maintaining the undifferentiated phenotype of rat ES cells than similar concentrations of murine LIF.
