Phenol red is used as a pH indicator in cell culture. Its colour exhibits a gradual transition from yellow to red over the pH range 6,8 to 8,2. Above pH 8,2, phenol red turns a bright pink (fuchsia) colour.

D-glucose monohydrate (Dextrose) is a common natural sugar involved in processes such as energy production, glycosylation, and formation of glycans that provide structure to cells. It is involved in a detrimental process in cells called glycation. It is used as a supplement for cell culture and in numerous cellular processes.

Versene can be used instead of trypsin. It is a chelating agent that disperses the cells by cutting the cytoplasmic bridges between them. Versene has the advantage of being able to withstand autoclave temperature, which is a guarantee of sterility. In addition, it is less aggressive cells than trypsin, which is useful for studies on cell growth.

Accustase is a ready to use cell detachment solution of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes. Accutase is a direct gentle replacement for trypsin solution. It can also be used on suspension cells to reduce their agglutination in order to ease counting.

Concentrated solutions of amino acids, vitamins or non essential amino acids can be added to a basal medium to enrich it and the resulting medium used as a classical MEM or BME. The final concentration of the MEM or BME must be 1X.

L-glutamine is an essential amino acid required by virtually all mammalian and insect cells grown in culture. It is a crucial component of many cell culture media and serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. However, in liquid media or stock solutions, L-glutamine can degrade relatively rapidly. L-glutamine is also more labile in cell culture solution than other amino acids.

Trypsin is a porcine pancreas-derived enzyme that is commonly used for the dissociation and disaggregation of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells and tissues. The concentration of trypsin necessary to dislodge the cells from their substrate depends on the sensitivity of the cells.

Cellstripper® is a non-enzymatic cell dissociation solution formulated with a proprietary mixture of chelators that gently dislodge adherent cells in tissue culture. It is an alternative to trypsin when used with either serum-free or serum-supplemented media. Because Cellstripper® is a gentler reagent than trypsin, cells can be exposed to Cellstripper for longer periods of time. Cellstripper® achieves superior results in comparison to enzymatic dissociation products.
