Analysis NoteAll lots of PromoCell Melanocyte Growth Medium M3 are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human melanocytes. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested melanocytes. 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).
Other Notes1x Basal Medium, 500ml
1x SupplementMix for 500ml
Melanocyte Growth Medium M3 is designed for the isolation and cultivation of human melanocytes from human juvenile and human adult skin in a BPE- and serum-free environment. The medium does not contain PMA (Phorbol Myristate Acetate), which could interfere with some experimental settings. Cells cultured in this medium can be plated directly on tissue culture plastic and no matrix coating is needed. Isolated human juvenile and adult melanocytes show their characteristic dendritic morphology when cultured in this advanced cell culture medium.
DisclaimerStore the Basal Medium at 4 to 8°C in the dark and the SupplementMix or SupplementPack at -20°C immediately after arrival. Do not freeze the Basal Medium. If stored properly, the products are stable until the expiry date stated on the label. After adding the supplements to the Basal Medium, the shelf life of the complete medium is 6 weeks at 4 to 8°C. Do not freeze the complete medium. For use, pre-warm only an aliquot of the complete medium and keep the remaining medium refrigerated at 4 to 8°C.
