Newborn Calf Serum (NBCS) originates from 3 to 10 day old calves. It is a high quality, cost effective replacement for Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and contains a somewhat higher proportion of proteins and immunoglobulin, but fewer growth factors. With proper cell adaptation, it has been shown to perform very well in cell culture applications where routine cell growth and cell culture maintenance is the objective.

Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) with Earle's Balanced Salts is a modification of Eagle's earlier medium, Basal Medium Eagle (BME), containing higher concentrations of the essential nutrients. These media have demonstrated the ability to support a variety of normal and transformed cells in culture and contain Earle's Balanced Salts, which make them suitable for use in atmospheres charged with CO₂ gas.

Ham's F12 was originally developed for the serum-free clonal growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, lung cells and mouse L-cells. It is frequently used with dialysed serum, hormones, selenium and other supplements for serum-free cultures. It is the medium of choice for supporting the growth of cells of rodent origin, particularly rabbit and rat and has proved to be an excellent cloning medium for the culture of myeloma and hybrid cells.

FreeAdd 1X is a fully chemically defined substitute for animal serum. It provides the necessary nutritional support for cell growth, development and expression. It has been tested on a variety of cells and can be used in combination with basal medium to generate equal or even better cell culture performance.

Supplier: BIOWEST

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).

Bovine serum is a pooled serum sample obtained from a normal donor herd. It is specific for anti-bovine serum and yields multiple arcs of precipitation during immunoelectrophoresis versus anti-bovine serum.

Supplier: BIOWEST

Sterile filtered foetal bovine serum (FBS) derived from clotted whole blood aseptically collected from foetus via cardiac puncture. Each manufactured batch is rigorously controlled, from the collection of serum through to final packaging.

Supplier: BIOWEST

Schneider’s Insect Medium was developed to support the growth of excised imaginal discs from the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. When supplemented with 5 to 20% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum Schneider's mediuam has been found to support the rapid growth of both primary and established cultures of cells derived from Drosophila spp. and several other dipterans.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is commonly used in cell culture protocols, particularly where protein supplementation is necessary and the other components of serum are unwanted. In cell culture, its main role is as a carrier of small molecules. Because of its negative charge, BSA binds water, salts, fatty acids, vitamins and hormones, then carries these bound components between tissues and cells. The binding capacity also makes BSA an effective scavenger to remove toxic substances, including pyrogens, from the medium.

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.

Supplier: BIOWEST

Ham's F10 medium is intended to support the growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells under serum-free conditions and other mammalian cell types with serum supplementation. It is a popular medium for growth of fastidious cell lines.

Porcine serum in lymphocyte culture for chromosomal studies has been utilized and found to be adequate. Moreover, although not commonly used, it is said that the constituents of porcine and human blood are nearly the same. It has also been suggested that porcine serum could be used in setting up peripheral lymphocyte culture for karyotyping.

Chicken serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Chicken serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

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.
