We have prepared the culture media specialized for sheroid.
By choosng the suitable medium, spheroid formation will be boosted.

Trial Culture Media for Established Cell Lines
(product number: NCM-H, NCM-M, NCM-L)
The trial cultivation media kit includes the above three kinds of media.
<SCIVAX's Achivement>
 >>Cancer cell line
 ・Colon cancer, Mammary tumor
 ・Prostate cancer, Lung cancer
 ・Pancreatic cancer, Glioma
 ・
Cervical cancer, head and neck carcinoma
>>Normal cell
・Preadipocytes, Matured Adipocytes
・Human chondrocyte, Human fibroblast
・Osteoblast, Osteoclasts

<Features>

・We have classified cells into four categories according to their spheroid forming ability and adhesiveness and optimized the culture media for each category (of the three categories except for the low-adhesive/low-forming ability category). The media can also be applied to various cell lines except cancer cells.
・We add the serum to various basic cultivation media (without other particular additives).
*We practice lot control on the serum which is influential to the proliferation and the spheroid forming ability.

<Before Use>
Try our product when the spheroid does not form easily with the media in your laboratory.
The trial kit (product no. NCL-3), has three kinds of culture media (each 5ml). Please select a suitable one from among these.
We also have a kit with which tests can be done with the single medium.
 
NCM-H
Adhesiveness-improving type (NCM-H)
Mainly suitable to cells with low adhesiveness.
Standard type (NCM-M)
Suitable to cells with middle adhesiveness.
Adhesiveness-suppressing type (NCM-L)
Mainly suitable to cells with high adhesiveness.

Primary hepatocytes culture medium (product No. NCM-prim)

 For cultivating spheroid on rat, mouse, and some of human primary hepatocytes.
<Features>

・Use with the primary hepatocytes cultivation plate (NCP-prim).
・Increrases characteristically low adhesiveness of primary hepatocytes.
・Serum is not added.

<Before Use>
As the adhesiveness depends on the cell species, check the conformity with the pattern (among the three patterns) of the trial kit.
The medium volume of the kit is 100ml.
 
Primary hepatocytets culture medium (NCM-prim)
 Suitable to the primary hepatocytes of human as well as animals.
