DEFINED CELL CULTURE MEDIA 8

Description

DEFINED CELL CULTURE MEDIA 8 is an advanced, chemically-defined growth medium designed for the cultivation of human skin cells in vitro. This specialized formula eliminates the need for animal-derived components, ensuring consistency and reproducibility in skin tissue engineering and dermatological research.

The medium contains a precise blend of amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, and growth factors optimized to support the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes. Key components include epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and hydrocortisone, which promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and maintain cellular functions.

DEFINED CELL CULTURE MEDIA 8 is serum-free, reducing variability and potential contamination associated with animal-derived products. Its low-protein formulation minimizes interference in downstream analyses and protein purification processes. The medium supports multiple passages of skin cells while maintaining their phenotypic characteristics and differentiation potential.

This product is particularly suitable for applications in skin tissue engineering, wound healing studies, toxicology testing, and the development of in vitro skin models. Its defined composition facilitates regulatory compliance and is ideal for research intended for clinical translation.
