Gain Consistency with our Single Lot Media and Reagents

CultureBoost™ is the broad-spectrum mitogen in Cell Systems Complete Medium (4Z0-500) and Cell Systems Medium Without Serum (4Z3-500). CultureBoost contains Cell Systems bovine growth factor and porcine heparin. One 5mL vial of CultureBoost™ supplements one 500mL bottle of media.

CultureBoost™ is purified from bovine pituitary or hypothalamus and is 100% traceable to cattle processed in the USA at USDA inspected facilities. The product's working concentration is 50µg/mL. Biological activity is adjusted to 110% of maximum using CSC 2V0 Human Venous Endothelial cells, ACBRI 181 Primary Retinal Microvascular Endothelial cells, and ACBRI 376 Primary Brain Microvascular Endothelial cells.

CultureBoost™ is qualified for use with Cell Systems media, and when initiating, thawing, expanding or passaging cultures of all mesenchymal-derived cells.

Use of CultureBoost™ can result in as much as 25% increase in recovery from freezing, an increase of 10-20% in cell count per passage, and a one day decrease in time-to-confluence. The effects of CultureBoost™ are most pronounced with extremely fastidious cells.
