Cell Culture Supplies & Reagents

We support your research with comprehensive cell culture solutions, whatever your specific needs may be. In this section, you will find products and protocols for our complete cell culture including helpful information about components to media, custom formulations, dissociation reagents as well as wash buffers and protocols for cell freezing and thawing that ensure cell viability.

Here at Millipore, we understand the need for synthetic basal media formulations that, when combined with other supplements, mimic metabolic conditions seen in vivo. We offer several products to choose from that are chemically-defined, serum-free, and optimized for the cells of your choice.

Of particular note is our custom media service from our Specialty Media® division. Our custom media service makes smaller volumes available at a lower cost more quickly than most other commercially available custom media products.
