Media preparation
The supplement comes in two parts, the basic medium and the supplement comprising very sensitive ingredients.
Due to the reduced shelf life of the media once supplemented, it is recommended to prepare smaller quantities such as 100 mL.
To prepare 100 mL of the iPSC growth medium, thaw the supplement at room temperature (18-25°C) or overnight at 4-8°C. Do not thaw at 37°C in a water bath, as this may be harmful to the ingredients. Aliquot the remaining 40 mL adequately and freeze down immediately.
Aseptically transfer 90 mL of the iPSC-MG basic medium into a sterile 100 mL bottle and add 10 mL of the supplement. Mix thoroughly. This volume should be used up within 1-2 weeks.
If other volumes of media are required, prepare accordingly.
For sterile filtration purposes, use 0.2 µm low protein binding polyethersulfone (PES) filter units (e.g. Corning Cat # 431229).
Maintenance
Keep the basic medium and the supplemented medium refrigerated at +2°C to +8°C in the dark. Freezing as well as warming up to +37°C minimizes the quality of the product.
Do not heat the medium to more than 37°C or use uncontrollable sources of heat (e.g., microwave appliances).
If only a part of the medium is to be used, remove this amount from the bottle and warm it up at room temperature.
Store the supplement at -20°C. Do not leave it for a prolonged time at ambient temperature.
After supplementation, this medium has a shelf life of about two weeks.

Growth
Medium has been developed for the cultivation of insect cells and is suitable for the production of recombinant proteins (Baculovirus expression vector system).
Usage instructions
You can follow this protocol to adapt your insect cell line to protein-free culture in a serum-free medium, for SF-9 cells. The optimal temperature range for most insect cells is 25°C to 30°C (27°C incubation +/

For oxygen supply, use vessels with filter lids or slightly unscrew the lids. For adaption from serum-containing to protein-free culture, direct or sequential adaption can be done. Cells should be taken from the middle exponential growth phase with >90% viability.

Endothelial cells play a crucial role in the circulatory system by transporting nutrients and waste throughout the body. Researchers and scientists need a medium that can sustain the development and maintenance of endothelial cells in vitro so that they may study their function and malfunction. CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium fills this need by creating an environment where endothelial cells may thrive throughout their growth and maintenance phases.
Definition of Endothelial Cell Growth Media
An in-vitro cell culture system requires a particular solution called Endothelial Cell Growth Media to sustain the endothelial cells necessary for the experiment. Endothelial cells in the body are exposed to an environment mimicked by the medium, including necessary and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, hormones, growth factors, and trace minerals. This nutrient-dense fluid is critical for preserving the endothelium phenotype and function because it stimulates cell proliferation. Globally, researchers and scientists rely on the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium because it is both effective and simple.
Importance of Endothelial Cell Research
Blood artery creation, blood pressure control, and wound healing are just a few physiological processes in which endothelial cells play a key part. To keep the blood vessels balanced, these cells may react to chemical and mechanical stimuli. In order to fully comprehend the causes of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis, research into endothelial cells is crucial. Investigating endothelial cells may also provide light on how to treat these diseases medically. Providing a stable and uniform environment for endothelial cell development and proliferation, the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium has shown to be an indispensable tool in this kind of study.
Quality Assurance
High-quality in-vitro cell culture media is essential for obtaining consistent and repeatable outcomes. Quality control testing is performed on every CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Media batch to guarantee its uniformity and effectiveness. The sterility, lack of mycoplasma and bacteria, and pH levels of each batch are examined. To promote healthy cell development and proliferation, the medium's pH is kept at 7.2 +/
- 0.02, and the temperature is maintained between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. To ensure the culture is clear of any contamination that might impact the accuracy of the findings, the medium is also checked for microbiological pollutants such as fungus, bacteria, and mycoplasma.
Maintenance and Disclaimer
The expiration date of CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Media is six weeks from the production date. The medium should be kept at a temperature of between +2°C and +8°C, away from light, and never frozen or heated over 37°C to preserve its quality. As a corollary, it is crucial to avoid microwaves and other unregulated heat sources that might compromise the product's integrity. A portion of the medium may be taken out of the container and brought up to room temperature if just a little amount will be utilized. CLS's Endothelial Cell Growth Medium is a tried and true method for cultivating endothelial cells because of the stringent quality controls used in its production.
Notably, the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium is not for clinical or diagnostic use; it is designed primarily for in-vitro usage. Obtaining accurate and reliable findings from the medium requires strict adherence to the manufacturer's guidelines and quality control methods.
Applications of the Medium
The CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium has proven useful in several biological studies. As this medium may be used to cultivate endothelial cells, it can be used to simulate endothelial function and malfunction in organ systems in vitro. This is especially useful for studying the blood-brain barrier or tissue-engineered blood arteries. This is essential for understanding disease processes and creating effective treatments.
Endothelial cells, especially HUVEC cells, have been extensively employed in angiogenesis research, wound healing research, and cancer research, thus, the medium has also been modified to promote their proliferation. Accurate and repeatable findings depend on the consistency and high quality of the medium used to develop these cells, and the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Media meets both of these requirements.
Conclusion
Researchers and professionals in the field of biomedical engineering may benefit significantly from using the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Media. For tissue engineering and drug discovery studies, the medium is highly recommended since it promotes the growth of endothelial cells by simulating the endothelial cell environment seen in the body. The medium is very simple to use, needs no unique care, and is subjected to stringent quality assurance procedures to guarantee its efficacy.
Research and knowledge of endothelial function and malfunction may significantly influence the development of therapeutics for atherosclerosis and associated disorders, and the endothelial cell culture medium is a crucial instrument in this endeavor. This medium has become a vital instrument for accomplishing research aims and advancing scientific progress since it provides excellent cell proliferation and maintenance conditions.
To sum up, the CLS Endothelial Cell Growth Medium is a reliable option for scientists studying endothelial cells for their potential in biomedicine.
Cell lines cultured using FRTL Cell Growth Medium
Phase contrast images of FRTL-5 cells: FRTL-5 cells growing in FRTL Cell Growth Medium without TSH (right) and supplemented with 16.5 ng/mL TSH (left) 8 days after seeding.
Medium preparation
The FRTL Growth Medium is a basic medium, which must be finalized by adding the supplement mix provided in frozen 15 mL tubes.
It is recommended to prepare 100 mL of medium. Take out 90 mL basic medium and add 10 mL of supplements from one of the 5 tubes, defrosted at 37°C for a maximum of 5-10 minutes. Although the supplement mix is a sterile solution, we recommend filtering it through a sterile 0.2 µm pore PES membrane syringe filter. The volume of 100 mL is sufficient to start culturing the cells and for the first subculture steps.
Adding 10 mL supplement mix to 90 mL basic medium will result in a TSH final concentration of 16.5 ng/mL.
