Small Airway Epithelial Cell Medium

Small Airway Epithelial Cell Medium (SAEpiCM), when used with Small Airway Epithelial Cell Growth Supplement (SAEpiCSG, Cat #3272), is a complete medium designed for optimal growth of normal small airway epithelial cells in vitro. It is a sterile, liquid medium which contains essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors and trace minerals. The medium is HEPES and bicarbonate buffered and has a pH of 7.4 when equilibrated in an incubator with an atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. The medium is formulated (quantitatively and qualitatively) to provide an optimally balanced nutritional environment that selectively supports the growth of normal small airway epithelial cells in vitro.

SAEpiCM consists of 500 ml of basal medium, 5 ml of small airway epithelial cell growth supplement (SAEpiCGS, Cat. No. 3272) and 5 ml of penicillin/streptomycin solution (P/S, Cat. No. 0503).
