McCoys 5A medium (modified), w: 3.0 g/L Glucose, w: stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 mM Sodium pyruvate, w: 2.2 g/L NaHCO3
McCoy's 5A Medium is a highly recommended and specialized medium designed to facilitate the growth and replication of viruses in primary cell cultures. It has gained significant recognition for its exceptional performance in various biological research applications.
One prominent application of McCoy's 5A Medium is its utilization in the culturing of human colon carcinoma cell lines. Specifically, it has been employed in the study of the leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor (LGR5) and its role in the metastasis of colon cancer. This medium has been effectively employed in the cultivation of several colon carcinoma cell lines, including HCT116, RKO, FET, CBS, HCT116b, and TENN, enabling researchers to delve deeper into the mechanisms underlying colon cancer metastasis.
In addition to its application in cancer research, McCoy's 5A Medium has proven to be indispensable in the study of osteoblasts. Researchers investigating the ion reactivity of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite in standard cell culture media have utilized this medium to culture osteoblasts. This application has facilitated a better understanding of the interactions between osteoblasts and calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, contributing to advancements in the field of bone research.
Notably, McCoy's 5A Medium was meticulously formulated by modifying the amino acids found in Basal Medium Eagle to provide optimal support for liver tumor cells. This enriched formulation enables its suitability for a diverse range of established cell lines, as well as primary cells, further enhancing its versatility and applicability in various research settings.
Moreover, McCoy's 5A Medium extends its biochemical and physiological effects beyond liver tumor cells. It has been successfully employed to support growth in primary cultures of bone marrow, skin, gingiva, kidney, omentum, adrenal, lung, spleen, rat embryo, and other cell types. This wide range of applications attests to the broad utility of McCoy's 5A Medium in supporting the growth and maintenance of various cell types for comprehensive biological research.
Formulation
This McCoy's 5A medium (modified) contains 3.0 g/L of Glucose, stable Glutamine, 2.0 mM of Sodium pyruvate, and 2.2 g/L of NaHCO3.
Quality control

pH = 7.2 +/
- 0.02 at 20-25°C. 
Each lot has been tested for sterility and absence of mycoplasma and bacteria.

Maintenance

Keep refrigerated at +2°C to +8°C in the dark. Freezing and warming up to +37° C minimize 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.
Shelf life for any medium except for the basic medium is 8 weeks from the date of manufacture.

Freeze Medium CM-1
Long-term storage
In biological research, the cryopreservation of mammalian cells is an invaluable tool. Successful preservation of cells is a top priority given that losing a cell line to contamination or improper storage conditions leads to lost time and money, ultimately delaying research results. Once the cells have been transferred from a cell growth medium to a freezing medium, the cells are typically frozen at a regulated rate and stored in liquid nitrogen vapor or at below -130°C in a mechanical deep freezer. The freeze medium CM-1 enables cryopreservation of cells at below -130°C (or in liquid nitrogen), essentially eliminating the need for an additional, costly ultralow freezer and eliminating time-consuming and demanding controlled rate freezing processes. Simply collect the cells, aspirate the growth medium, resuspend in CM-1, transfer to a cryovial, and store the vial at below -130 °C.
Long shelf-life
CM-1 is a serum-containing, ready-to-use cryopreservation medium that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one year.
Trusted by hundreds of researchers
Our advanced cell freezing medium CM-1 is a market-leading product in Germany and Europe and is distinguished by numerous publications involving hundreds of different cell lines worldwide. We tested it with more than 1000 cell lines from our proprietary cell bank.
Optimized ingredients
CM-1 does contain serum products. Serum-containing cryopreservation mediums optimally protect the cells whilst being frozen and have the advantage of high recovery rates. As CM-1 has been tested with a multitude of cell lines, you can rest assured that your cells always recover well.

Contains FBS, DMSO, glucose, salts
Buffering capacity pH = 7.2 to 7.6

Applications & Validation
The cells preserved in our CM-1 freeze medium can be used for cell counting, viability and cryopreservation, cell culture, mammalian cell culture, gene expression analysis and genotyping, in vitro transcription, and polymerase chain reactions. Each batch's efficacy is evaluated using CHO-K1 cells. Each batch is tested for pH, osmolality, sterility, and endotoxins to ensure high quality.

PBS
Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) Solution: The Optimal Buffer for Your Biological Research
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a versatile buffer solution used in many biological and chemical applications, as well as tissue processing. Our PBS solution is formulated with high-quality ingredients to ensure a constant pH during experiments. The osmolarity and ion concentrations of our PBS solution are matched to those of the human body, making it isotonic and non-toxic to most cells.
Composition of our PBS Solution
Our PBS solution is a pH-adjusted blend of ultrapure-grade phosphate buffers and saline solutions. At a 1X working concentration, it contains 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM Na2HPO4, and 2 mM KH2PO4. We have chosen this composition based on CSHL protocols and Molecular cloning by Sambrook, which are well-established standards in the research community.
Applications of our PBS Solution
Our PBS solution is ideal for a wide range of applications in biological research. Its isotonic and non-toxic properties make it perfect for substance dilution and cell container rinsing. Our PBS solution with EDTA can also be used to disengage attached and clumped cells. However, it is important to note that divalent metals such as zinc cannot be added to PBS as this may result in precipitation. In such cases, Good's buffers are recommended. Moreover, our PBS solution has been shown to be an acceptable alternative to viral transport medium for the transport and storage of RNA viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
Storage of our PBS Solution
Our PBS solution can be stored at room temperature, making it easy to use and access.
To sum up
In summary, our PBS solution is an essential component in many biological and chemical experiments. Its isotonic and non-toxic properties make it suitable for numerous applications, from cell culture to viral transport medium. By choosing our high-quality PBS solution, researchers can optimize their experiments and ensure accurate and reliable results.
