Product Title: 

PCT Prostate Epithelium Medium, Low BPE

CnT-52 is a progenitor cell targeted liquid culture medium kit including both basal medium and supplements. CnT-52 is a low calcium (0.07 mM) formulation and contains a low Bovine Pituitary Extract (BPE) concentration of 10 μg / mL. It does not contain antibiotics / antimycotics. The basal medium contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins and organic compounds, but is protein free.

Pack Size: 

CnT-52 is a 500 mL kit consisting of:

  • CnT-BM.1: 500 mL CnT Basal Medium 1 (liquid)
  • CnT-52.S: containing three supplements (Supplements A, B and BPE; delivered frozen; to be added to 500 mL basal medium prior to use) 
Product Use: 

Developed for maximum efficiency in isolation, growth and 2D differentiation of prostate epithelium cells. 

With the additional boost of BPE, this media is also recommended for use with sub-optimal conditions such as low seeding densities or low tissue quality.

Tissue Type: 
Prostate
Media Type: 
PCT
Defined: 
No
Species: 

Formulated for human and mouse epithelium cells. May be used for other species as well (not yet tested).

Culture Conditions: 

This medium is designed for use in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. For suggested cell culture protocols, please see our resources section.

Storage / Shelf Life: 

  • CnT-BM.1 basal medium: Store at 4°C in the dark. For expiry date, please see label on bottle. Please do not freeze.

Important: The quality of cell culture media is rapidly degraded by light. Store in the dark, and minimize all light exposure during handling.

Quality Control: 

Media functionality and cell morphology tested by cell cultivation over 2 passages in supplemented medium. Osmolality, pH and concentration of various ions are tested. Free of bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma contamination.

Shipping Conditions: 

  • CnT-BM.1 basal medium is shipped at ambient temperature.

  • CnT-52.S supplements are shipped frozen.

Note:
