The PromoCell Cancer Cell Line Medium XF is a cell culture medium developed for the standardized in vitro cultivation of established human cancer cell lines. Its serum-free and xeno-free formulation provides a culture environment devoid of all stimuli originating from non-defined materials. Thus, it has no ill-defined components such as fetal calf serum, extracts or hydrolysates and exhibits very low lot-to-lot variability.

Components:The PromoCell Cancer Cell Line Medium XF consists of a bottle of Basal Medium and one vial of SupplementMix. Adding the SupplementMix to the Basal Medium results in the complete medium

Note: The serum- and xeno-free formulation means non-availability of attachment factors. Hence, coating with an appropriate adhesion factor is a pre-requisite. For the establishment of the culture conditions, it is recommended to test fibronectin (e.g. Human Fibronectin Solution (C-43060)) and vitronectin (e.g. Vitronectin (C-69201)) coating.

Key features:

• Suitable for long-term routine culture of adherently growing established human cancer cell lines
• Compatible with most commonly used human cancer cell lines
• Xeno-free and serum-free formulation

PromoKine细胞生物学(Cell Biology)是在显微、亚显微和分子水平三个层次上，研究细胞的结构、功能和各种生命规律的一门科学。细胞生物学由细胞学发展而来，细胞学是关于细胞结构与功能(特别是染色体)的研究。现代细胞生物学从显微水平、超微水平和分子水平等不同层次研究细胞的结构、功能及生命活动。在我国基础学科发展规划中，细胞生物学与分子生物学、神经生物学和生态学并列为生命科学的四大基础学科。
