General description

EpiGRO Human Ocular Epithelia Complete Media Kit is a serum-free medium optimized for the culture of human corneal epithelial cells. It supports the growth of these cells over a period of at least 3 passages. This medium does not contain any antimicrobials or phenol red; components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may influence experimental results. It is formulated for use in an incubator with an atmosphere of 5% CO⒉

Other Notes

Basal Medium (Catalog No. SCMC-BM) Supplement Mix (Catalog No. SCMC001-S)

Preparation Note

Basal Medium should be stored at 2-8°C in the dark. Do not freeze.Supplement Mix should be stored at -20°C. Supplemented Medium is stable for up to 4 weeks at 2-8°C.

"The successful, reliable culture of epithelial cells is critical for many areas of research, including dermatology, respiratory research, and cancer research. Because the breakdown of control mechanisms in epithelial cells is a frequent contributor to cancer progression and metastasis, epithelial cell culture is particularly important for cancer research. EpiGRO™ media formulations are optimized to provide better viability, proliferation rates, morphology and culture stability than other commercially available options. The media are provided in unique, light-blocking, temperature-monitored packaging to ensure stability and protect the media from damage by light, contamination, and excessive heat. The media do not require or contain any antimicrobials or phenol red. These components can cause cell stress and influence experimental results by masking the true performance or health of the cell culture. Phenol red acts like an estrogen and may stimulate growth independently of experimental variables. "
