Chromagenic culture media
08 April, 2009 bybioMérieux is enhancing its line of food safety solutions with the launch of two chromogenic culture media, chromID Sakazakii and chromID Vibrio.
Selective agar supplements
08 April, 2009 byCHROMagar Microbiology has released three selective supplements for use with CHROMagar Orientation media.
Vibrio identification
07 April, 2009 byV. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae genic bacteria, which can cause serious seafood poisoning. For the detection of those bacteria, conventional methods (TCBS) are long, require a heavy workload and are not very sensitive.
Mesenchymal stem cells media
07 April, 2009 byInvitrogen has launched a serum-free media (SFM) designed specifically to culture mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), or stem cells derived from bone marrow. Stempro MSC SFM is claimed to overcome many challenges in MSC culture. In concert, Invitrogen also launched two kits designed to allow the differentiation of MSCs to either adipocytes (fat cells) or osteocytes (bone cells).
Xeno-free culture substrate
07 April, 2009 byCellstart is a fully defined, completely animal-origin-free substrate for the attachment and expansion of embryonic, mesenchymal and neural stem cells.
Hanging cell culture inserts
06 April, 2009 byHanging Millicell cell culture inserts are available pre-loaded into 24-well receiver trays. The pre-loaded assembly saves time and labour across a range of experimental protocols.
Petrifilm culture plates
01 January, 2009Petrifilm culture plates come in an easy, ready-to-use format, with each batch coupled with a Quality Assurance Certificate from the 3M ISO 9002-certified manufacturing facility.
Bacteria isolation
01 July, 2008ChroMagar Vibrio can differentiate between V.parahaemolyticus, V.vulnificus and V.cholerae pathogenic bacteria, which can cause serious seafood poisoning.
Cytogenetics media and reagents
04 June, 2008AMCELGROW Medium from ID Labs is optimised for the primary in vitro culture of human amniotic fluid cells and chorionic villi (CV) samples in open (5% CO2) systems. These primary cultures can then be used for such cytogenetic procedures as karyotyping and FISH.
Improved mesenchymal stem cell culture
06 July, 2007The new MesenPRO RS Medium is a reduced serum (2%) medium specifically formulated to support the growth of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in culture. MesenPRO RS Medium consistently improves MSC expansion compared with conventional serum-supplemented media. Using MesenPRO RS Medium, MSCs can be expanded for multiple passages while maintaining their multi-potential phenotype (ie, differentiation into osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic lineages).
Automated culture media preparation
12 March, 2007The AES Chemunex Masterclave 09 for culture media preparation features an extra large magnetic stirrer and high precision core temperature control. The Masterclave 09 lets users rapidly prepare 1-9 L of high quality culture media.
