Cell Culture Supplements & Reagents

Ensuring adequate cell growth relies on many culture conditions, including the correct media formulation for your cell line. To support cell growth, basal or complex media can be refined and enriched with supplements such as amino acids, vitamins, lipids, antibiotics, and serum. Our cell culture supplements and reagents are backed our superior customer service and commitment to quality.

Carbohydrates

Our broad portfolio of highly pure carbohydrates are used widely as supplements to cell culture media and as building blocks in glycan and glycoconjugate synthesis.

Amino Acids

We have a comprehensive offering of high-purity amino acids and derivatives important to metabolomic pathways and protein structure for your research needs.

Antibiotics

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of antibiotics to prevent contamination of cell cultures through pathogens or other cell lines, for genetic marker selection and cell biology research.

FBS

FBS, or fetal bovine serum (also called FCS) is one of the most important supplements for mammalian cell culture. Choose FBS grade based on documentation requirements and application specificity.

Cell Freezing Reagents

Protect valuable cell line stocks by choosing reagents that are designed to protect cells during ultralow temperature storage. Our DMSO selection is application-tested, and ready-to-use cell freezing media are available in DMSO-free and in variable DMSO concentrations.

Albumins and Transport Proteins

Albumin is used in vitro to bind, sequester and stabilize a range of important small molecules and proteins. We provide bovine and human serum albumins and transport protein reagents for diverse applications, including cell culture, protein quantitation, and antibody-related studies.

Human Serum

Human serum is used to culture human cells and is available as plasma-derived AB human serum, clotted whole blood AB human serum, heat inactivated preparations, and complement-depleted preparations.
