Determination of Tumorsphere Formation Efficiency with PromoCell 3D Tumorshphere Medium XF
11 Dec 2018The PromoCell Cancer Stem Cell Medium has been designed to meet requirements for the extended serial 3D tumorshphere culture. Tumorsphere Medium XF supports the most commonly used cancer stem cell lines in tumorsphere/mammosphere culture. In contrast to the current adherent 2D culture of cancer cells, this type of 3D culture selectively exploits inherent biologic features of cancer stem cells such as anoikis resistance and self-renewal. Continuous proliferation is also supported during serial passage of 3D tumorsphere cultures. Thus, this culture system is also applicable for in vitro models of metastasis.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell 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.Stem Cell ResearchStem cells have the ability to produce identical daughter cells as well as progeny, which commit and differentiate. Stem cell research has exciting prospects of biomedical applications in cellular disease modeling, pharmaceutical screening, and regenerative medicine. Cancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
