Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested preadipocytes. In addition, the Preadipocyte Differentiation Medium/Adipocyte Nutrition Medium are tested for the capacity to induce the terminal differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes. 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).
