General description

FibroGRO® Media formulations provide an optimal cell culture environment for many types of human fibroblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblasts These low-serum/serum-free formulations have been shown to grow these cells at rates that meet or exceed commercially available serum containing media, while maintaining excellent cell morphology. The media are packaged in a specially designed UV protective shrinkwrap for added stability, which includes a temperature gauge for added convenience. FibroGRO® Media contain no antimicrobials and no phenol red, components that can cause cell stress and masking effects that may influence experimental results.

Application

FibroGRO Complete Medium is a defined medium optimized for serum-free culture of human fibroblasts, and supports the growth of these cells in a serum-free environment at rates equal to or greater than comparable media supplemented with much higher concent
FibroGRO Complete Medium is a defined medium optimized for serum-free culture of human fibroblasts, and supports the growth of these cells in a serum-free environment at rates equal to or greater than comparable media supplemented with much higher concentrations of FBS. FibroGRO Medium contains no antimicrobials and no phenol red; components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may influence experimental results (these are not needed, or recommended, to achieve optimal cell performance). FibroGRO medium provides a perfect cell system to establish serum-free human feeder layers for stem cell culture, or as a model to study wound healing, toxicology or basic cell biology
The FibroGRO Media provide an optimal cell culture environment for many types of human fibroblasts & mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

EpiGRO™, EndoGRO™ and FibroGRO™ Reagents

"The successful, reliable culture of epithelial cells is critical for many areas of research, including dermatology, respiratory research, and cancer research. Because the breakdown of control mechanisms in epithelial cells is a frequent contributor to cancer progression and metastasis, epithelial cell culture is particularly important for cancer research. EpiGRO™ media formulations are optimized to provide better viability, proliferation rates, morphology and culture stability than other commercially available options. The media are provided in unique, light-blocking, temperature-monitored packaging to ensure stability and protect the media from damage by light, contamination, and excessive heat. The media do not require or contain any antimicrobials or phenol red. These components can cause cell stress and influence experimental results by masking the true performance or health of the cell culture. Phenol red acts like an estrogen and may stimulate growth independently of experimental variables. "

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
