Wako和光纯药CultureSure® 10w/v% Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Glycol Solution

Surfactant for insect cell culture media

CultureSure® 10w/v% Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Glycol Solution

This product is a 10% aqueous solution of a nonionic surfactant designed for cell culture applications.
In insect cell cultures, it is used as a media additive to both suppress cell aggregation and prevent cell attachment to flasks.
While acting as an antifoaming agent, this surfactant limits the interaction of cells with air bubbles, thus protecting cells against injury. It also defends cells from shear forces produced by sparging air. The beneficial effects of this surfactant have been shown to promote cell proliferation.

Comparison

Comparison of preservation efficiency of mouse fibroblast strain

BAMBANKER™ Self prepared solution
Conditions
Cells used: Mouse fibroblast cell line
Number of cells stored: 4 × 106 cells / vial. Each cell was suspended in 1mL of preservation solution.
Storage temperature: -80°C. Cells were directly placed in storage box and cooled without using BICELL, etc.
Storage period: 45 days
Thawing method: Cells were thawed according to the conventional method.
Method of measuring
preservatiion efficiency:
After thawing, 5 x 104 cells were inoculated into a 24-well culture plate with 1 mL DMEM medium, and the cell density per culturing area was measured by successive timlapse imaging.
Data by Shota Moriya, Department of Biochemistry, Tokyo Medical University

Better cell viability was obtained using BAMBANKER™ than self-prepared preservative solution.

Wako和光纯药Cytokines (Bulk Order)

Cytokines (Bulk Order)

Our cytokines are available in large quantities. Please contact the distributors for the pricing of bulk orders.

What are animal-derived-free cytokines?
Animal-derived-free cytokines are expressed and purified from E. coli that was cultured without any animal-derived materials. There is only a minimal risk of viral contaminations that would otherwise be caused by the presence of animal- derived raw materials. These cytokines can be used in the same way as regular cytokines.
