General description

Osteoblast Growth Medium (Ready-to-use)

Application

Osteoblast Growth Medium has been optimized for the in vitro cultivation of human osteoblasts. The fetal calf serum in the medium is strictly pretested for optimal performance. The medium is optimized for primary human cells, but can also be used for bovine, murine, and rat osteoblasts as well as osteoblast cell lines.Recommended for:Human Osteoblasts (HOB)

Components

Part of a Cell Culture System offered in a variety of formats:Growth Medium (Ready-to-use): Includes Basal Medium and SupplementMixSupplementMix: Contains all media supplements premixed in one vial

Quality

All lots of PromoCell Osteoblast Growth Medium are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human osteoblasts. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested osteoblasts. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).

Preparation Note

Final supplement concentrations after addition to the basal medium:Fetal Calf Serum: 0.1 ml / ml

Storage and Stability
