Media Selection Guide
CELLnTEC’s precision media are specifically designed for either isolation and / or cultivation of primary cells (Progenitor Cell Targeted / PCT media) or to allow differentiation (non-PCT media).
Overall CELLnTEC media may be divided into four main families:
- PCT Defined Media: Specifically retain progenitor cells in a proliferative state. They offer high efficiency isolation and growth for primary epithelial cell culture in a completely defined environment.
- PCT Low-BPE Media: Combine all the progenitor cell retention benefits of PCT with the growth and adhesion boost of BPE for the absolute best cell isolation and growth performance, or when the quality of the starting tissue is not optimal.
- Non-PCT Defined Media - 2D Differentiation: Defined media used for cultivation and in situations where cells are induced to differentiate (high calcium trigger may be required, see protocols).
- Non-PCT Defined Media - 3D Differentiation: Defined media used for differentiation of cells in three dimensional culture. Contains all the components to initiate differentiation, while keeping a subset of proliferation active cells. No further additions required. Full protocols can be found in the resources section of this website.
