Custom Media Formulations
The Specialty Media group at Millipore provides a custom media formulation service that can manufacture the medium of your choice at a reasonable price with quick turnaround time. Our service features include:
Fast Turnaround Time
Millipore takes pride in our short custom media turnaround time. The standard turnaround is 20 business days from receipt of purchase order number, and includes pH, osmolarity, and sterility testing (requires 14 days). RUSH orders are also possible and are shipped on the third business day from receipt of purchase order (additional cost is 20% of order). For RUSH orders, written notification is required to waive the Quality Control (QC) requirements for shipping (QC testing does continue) and expedite receipt of order.Reduced Costs
Millipore’s minimum quantity requirements for custom media minimize the expense to utilize this service. The minimum quantity (per order) for custom mouse media is 500 mL, and 3 L for all other custom media orders.Simplicity
Each order of new custom media is assigned an unique and independent “formulation number” to aid in the re-ordering process. If the custom formulation is modified at any point in the future, a new formulation number will be assigned to avoid any confusion.
