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.

AXIS devices physically isolate developing neurites from each other and their respective neural cell bodies. In addition, the use of hydrostatic pressure during analysis provides researchers with an opportunity for targeted exposure of neuronal parts to growth factors, drug compounds, or other reagents of biological interest. This ability to selectively control exposure of neuronal outgrowth makes AXIS a powerful platform for…
ECGS is mitogenic for many types of cells under reduced or serum-free conditions, such as mammalian, avian and human endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes, melanocytes and hybridomas; ECGS often fully substitutes for feeder layers in culture of fastidious cells.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. Xu, et al. demonstrated that bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proli…
Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a Hank's based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. This reagent does NOT contain porcine trypsin or any other protein. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cyto…
Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a PBS based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cytotoxic effects sometimes associated with 0.5 mM EDTA. It can be used to…
ENStem-A Neural Expansion Medium is a defined serum-free formulation that has been optimized for the culture and expansion of ENStem-A Human Neural Progenitor Cells. When used in conjunction with L-Glutamine (not provided) and FGF-2 (provided), the expansion medium will allow for the maintenance and proliferation of ENStem-ATM Human Neural Progenitor Cells.
ReNcell NSC Maintenance Medium is a defined serum-free, growth factor-free medium that has been optimized for the growth and in vitro differentiation of ReNcell immortalized human neural progenitor cells.

Withdrawal of the growth factors from ReNcell NSC Maintenance Medium will…
ReNcell Neural Stem Cell Freezing Medium is qualified for use with ReNcell immortalized human neural progenitor cell lines, CX and VM cultured in serum-free conditions with ReNcell NSC Maintenance Medium. The optimized formulation allows for consistent cryopreservation and high viability upon thawing and plating.
ENStem-A™ Neuronal Differentiation Medium is a specially formulated medium optimized for the preferential differentiation of ENStem-A™ human neural progenitor cells to a neuronal lineage. The medium has been extensively validated on ENStem-A™ Human Neural Progenitor Cells. Using ENStem-A™ Neuronal Differentiation Medium, relatively pure populations of neuronal cells (90% bIII-tubulin positive) are obtained. Very low levels of…
HEScGRO hES cell medium is the first, animal-component free medium that is specially formulated to meet the unique requirements of human embryonic stem cell culture. No other hES cell media is available as a serum-free, ready-to-use, and complete formulation. HEScGRO has been extensively tested and proven to maintain the pluripotential nature of several hES cell lines including: MEL-1, MEL-2 and H1. This medium is fully-define…
A cell detachment solution of proteolytic, collagenolytic and DNAse enzymes.ACCUMAX™ is tested for Sterility, enzymatic activity and cell detachment from tissue culture plastic. ACCUMAX™ has been used successfully on numerous cell types including: CHO, BHK, 293, COS, Sf9, and catfish primary hepatocyte cells.
This unique formulation of cell culture freezing media is for cryopreservation of a broad spectrum of mammalian cells (see viability data)and is ES cell qualified. Freezing Media contain 10% of the active cryopreservation ingredient (either DMSO or Glycerol). The remaining 90% is a proprietary mixture of Calf and Fetal Bovine Serum. The reagents used in these products are certified to be virus and mycoplasma free. The sera ut…
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…
