PCT Vaginal Epithelium Medium, Low BPE (Human)
Description:
PCT Vaginal Epithelium Medium, Low BPE (Human)
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Product Overview:
CnT-55 is a progenitor cell targeted liquid culture medium kit including both basal medium and separate supplements. CnT-55 contains a low Bovine Pituitary Extract concentration of 10 µg/mL. It does not contain antibiotics / antimycotics. The basal medium contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins and organic compounds, but is protein free.
Key Applications:
Cell Culture
Application Notes:
For the absolute best isolation and growth, high colony forming efficiency and extended longevity, CnT-55 combines all the progenitor cell retention benefits of a PCT medium with the isolation and growth boost of BPE. Also recommended for use with sub-optimal conditions such as low seeding densities or low tissue quality. Suggested seeding densities for human cell isolation and passaging is 2 x 103 cells/cm2. For epithelium differentiation, we recommend the use of CnT-39 medium because the PCT formulation of CnT-55 may delay the onset of terminal differentiation. Cells may be switched to CnT-19, the defined PCT medium without weaning if desired.
Antibiotics/ Antimycotics may be added if desired; CELLnTEC products CnT-ABM10, CnT-ABM20 or CnT-ABM will provide a final concentration of 100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 µg/mL Streptomycin and 250 ng/mL Amphotericin B.
This medium is designed for use in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
