Description
General description
To form a complete kit both components are required: Basal Medium (Catalog No. SCMF-BM) and Supplement Mix (Catalog No. SCMF001-S).
Application
FibroGRO® Media formulations provide an optimal cell cultureenvironment for many types of human fibroblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblastsThese low-serum/serum-free formulations have been shown to grow these cells atrates that meet or exceed commercially available serum containing media, whilemaintaining excellent cell morphology. The media are packaged in a speciallydesigned UV protective shrinkwrap for added stability, which includes atemperature gauge for added convenience. FibroGRO® Media contain noantimicrobials and no phenol red, components that can cause cell stress andmasking effects that may influence experimental results.
FibroGRO® Complete Mediumis a defined medium optimized for serum-free culture of humanfibroblasts and supports the growth of these cells in a serum-free environmentat rates equal to or greater than comparable media supplemented with muchhigher concentrations of FBS. FibroGRO®Medium contains no antimicrobials and nophenol red; components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” thatmay influence experimental results (these are not needed, or recommended, toachieve optimal cell performance). FibroGRO® medium provides a perfect cellsystem to establish serum-free human feeder layers for stem cell culture, or asa model to study wound healing, toxicology or basic cell biology.
Preparation Note
Basal Medium (SCMF-BM) should be stored at 2 - 8ºC. Thespecial UV protective packaging protects FibroGRO Medium from light damage,however users should take care to protect medium from extended exposure tolight. Supplement Kits (SCMF001-S and SCMF002-S) should be stored at -20ºC. Seeindividual labels for expiry date. Supplemented medium should be stored at 2 -8ºC in the dark. Use within 1 month of supplementation. Do not freeze.
