Supplier: Biowest

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.

Supplier: Corning

Corning ECM mimetic surfaces and substrates contain biologically active, synthetic, animal-free peptides that have been rationally designed to mimic the cell attachment motifs of native ECM proteins. The peptides enable optimal cell binding and signaling in a broad range of serum-free, xeno-free, and animal-free media formulations, supporting the propagation and differentiation of a range of stem, progenitor and primary cell types.
