Isolation Efficiency

CnT-PR-F delivers 50% more cells on day 5 post isolation compared with traditional 10% serum media.

CnT-PR-F-HC does not contain serum. We recommend the use of 1 % serum to deliver improved isolation efficiency and proliferation of human and animal fibroblasts in comparison with traditional 10% serum media.CnT-PR-F-HC is a highly refined medium for fibroblast culture. It uses an advanced basal medium supplemented with a range of growth factors, thereby reducing the serum requirement down to 1%.

The reduction to a 1% serum medium is achieved through the addition of a range of fully defined growth factors and co-factors to improve their binding to cell surface receptors. This combination enables more rapid expansion than traditional 10% serum formulations.

By reducing the dependence on serum, CnT-PR-F-HC is significantly more consistent than traditional high-serum formulations.

ProlifRate
Figure: Growth rate of primary human dermal fibroblasts in the 24 days (5 passages) following isolation is 40% faster in CnT-PR-F than in the traditional CnT-05 (10% serum) medium. Cells were grown on standard tissue culture plastic, passaged with accutase, and seeded at 1’000 cells per sq. cm.

For induction of other cell behaviours such as ECM secretion, the CnT-PR-ECM medium is recommended.Thawing, seeding, and passaging protocols are particularly important for optimal cell growth. Please visit our Protocols Page for our recommendations.

The medium undergoes a range of QC tests in our lab before being released for sale.
