VWR® Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is used in many applications as a stabilisation agent. Albumin is used to solubilise lipids, and is also used as a blocking agent in Western blots or ELISA applications. It is commonly used in cell culture protocols mainly for protein supplementation. It can also be added to viral transport media for stabilisation.

Basal Medium Eagle is principally used for monolayer diploid or primary cell cultures. It is the simplest of the basal media with all essential components for growth. BME ideally supports cell lines such as HeLa, L-cells and primary mammalian fibroblasts. BME has also successfully been used for the growth of human transformed cell lines (particularly WI-38 and MRC-5).

Medium 199 was developed specifically for nutritional research of chicken fibroblasts. Today, 199 media are widely used for the maintenance of non transformed cells, vaccine and virus production and primary explants of epithelial cells. The media formulated with the Hanks salts are buffered with saline solutions designed for balancing in ambient conditions, and their use in a CO₂ incubator results in a rapid drop in pH of the culture medium.

The Leibovitz L-15 media were formulated to promote the cell growth in medium not balanced in CO₂. The formulations were developed with the sodium bicarbonate buffer. The Leibovitz L-15 media are buffered by a complement of salts, free base amino acids and galactose so they can be used under conditions of free gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. When properly supplemented, L-15 Medium supports established cell lines, such as HEp-2 and LLC-MK2, as well as primary explants of embryonic and adult human tissue. Many viruses also have been successfully cultivated in this medium.
