General description

ITS+3 liquid media supplement is a mixture of insulin, human transferrin (partially iron-saturated), sodium selenite, linoleic acid, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). It is suitable for serum-free cell culture applications.

  • to support the growth of human adipose stem cells (ASC)
