ITS Media Supplement (100X) Best Seller

Kit Summary

Supports cell proliferation under low serum conditions.

Why Use Pre-optimized and Serum-free Supplements for Cell Culture?

The efficiency of cell proliferation and maintenance of cell health can vary from one experiment to another depending on the media components, the supplements used to drive proliferation, and the quality of the starting cell population.

Although commonly used, serum-containing medium is inherently variable due to the undefined composition and lot-to-lot variability across batches of serum. Troubleshooting media variability can be a costly and time-consuming obstacle that can be minimized through the use of high quality media. Our ITS Media Supplement is a pre-optimized and serum-free media supplement that was designed to help maintain culture media consistency across passages and experiments. The ITS Media Supplement contains optimized concentrations of human insulin, human transferrin, and selenite.

ITS Media Supplement (100x):

• Contains optimized concentrations of insulin, transferrin, and selenite
• Chemically-defined media decreases experimental variation
• High lot-to-lot consistency decreases variation
• QC-tested on multiple cell lines

Scientific Data Examples for ITS Media Supplement (100X)

ITS Media Supplement Supports Proliferation Under Low Serum Conditions. ITS Media Supplement Supports Proliferation Under Low Serum Conditions.Hela, MCF7, and HepG2 cells were cultured in media supplemented with 10% FBS, low serum (0.1% FBS), or ITS Media Supplement + 0.1% FBS. Cells were trypsinized, harvested, and cell counts were performed. For each respective cell line, cell counts were normalized against standard 10% FBS-containing media (100%).
