Cell Culture Media

The development of cell culture media is as old as the cell culture itself and is continuously expanded. These media exist in countless variations and formats, as the exact composition always depends on the cultured cell type. In general, cell culture media are manufactured in a way, which allows growth, proliferation, differentiation as well as the execution of typical cellular functions. Such basal culture media usually contain amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and different buffer mixtures. Moreover, pH-indicators as well as serum (e.g. fetal bovine serum) as a source for hormones, proteins, lipids and microelements are often added to these media. Besides, there is a range of diverse selection, growth and minimal media for specific cell types and experimental setups.
