GIBCO® Astrocyte Medium has been specially formulated to support the growth of primary human and rat astrocytes while retaining their phenotypes. The medium has been internally validated and optimized to provide an optimal balance between cell growth and the maintenance of cell viability, normal phenotype, and function. If more rapid proliferation is desired, addition of an appropriate amount of epidermal growth factor (EGF) is recommended, although cells may exhibit morphological and phenotypic changes. Astrocytes are a type of glial cells of the nervous system with a typical star shape. It h...

Exosome – Human CD63 Isolation/Detection enables the purification of CD63+ exosomes (also called extracellular vesicles and multi-vesicular bodies) from pre-enriched cell culture samples. These exosomes can then be detected using techniques such as flow cytometry, electron microscopy, or Western blotting. The exosomes must be pre-enriched before isolation. This can be done by ultracentrifugation, or by using the fast and efficient Total Exosome Isolation (from cell culture media) reagent. • Obtain highly pure CD63+ exosomes • "See" your sample during handling • Easily scalable protocol • Detec...

The antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin are used to prevent bacterial contamination of cell cultures due to their effective combined action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin was originally purified from the fungi Penicillium and acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacterial cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall. Streptomycin was originally purified from Streptomyces griseus . It acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and dea...

Category: Products & Services > Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents > Supplements > Sodium Pyruvate
Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as an energy source in addition to glucose. Since cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a required supplement for all cell cultures. However, if cells have been grown in medium that is supplemented with sodium pyruvate, we recommend continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it. Gibco® Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) is formulated using 11 g per liter of water. The final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell culture media is 1 mM. Dual-site cGMP Manufacturi...
