Scientific resources

CnT-57 is a low calcium medium formulation designed for isolation and expansion of mouse and human epithelial cells. It is comprised of the CnT-07 medium supplemented with a low concentration of BPE.

It is provided as a liquid culture medium kit including both basal medium and supplements. For maximum isolation efficiency from epithelial tissues, it is recommended to supplement CnT-57 with the IsoBoost supplement (#CnT-ISO-50), which has been found to double cell yield in the first week of culture.

Primary epithelial cells growing in CnT-57 display a highly proliferative phenotype. For differentiation experiments, it is recommended to switch to the CnT-PR-D or CnT-PR-3D differentiation media.

The medium undergoes a range of QC tests in our lab before being released for sale. Please see the datasheet for details. Like to try a test sample? Click here for more information.

Thawing, seeding, and passaging protocols are particularly important for optimal cell growth. Please visit our Protocols Page for our recommendations.
