Bovine calf serum is a cost-effective alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). It is often used with robust cell lines when large quantities of serum are needed such as in the manufacturing of biological drugs and vaccines. Bovine calf serum is derived from calves that are generally less than 22 weeks old. It has very high levels of transferrin, which allows for iron fortification to levels of more than three times greater than normal FBS. Iron is essential for cell respiration and metabolism and for some cell lines, makes up for the lower levels of growth factors and other metabolites found in calf serum when compared to FBS.

Technical Advantage:  Can be autoclaved, unlike ampicillin Carbenicillin is a form of penicillin and is often used in place of ampicillin because it maintains stability after being autoclaved.  Like ampicillin, carbenicillin interferes with cell-wall synthesis of actively growing cells.

The Corning portfolio of cytokines, growth factors, and media supplementation offers a wide array of proteins that result in proliferation or differentiation of the affected cells. Corning offers a broad range of other media growth supplements. Some products are specific to cell type, such as SMC4 (for iPSCs) and T-Cell culture supplement (for T-cells), while other products promote proliferation in a wide variety of cell types. Reducing serum use is made easy with products such as ITS and Corning Nu-Serum™.

The Cytek Aurora CS was designed to leverage the paradigm-shifting technology onboard the Cytek Aurora system and deliver the sorting capabilities you have come to expect in a high-end sorter.

Like Aurora, the CS provides the benefits of Full Spectrum Profiling (FSP™) technology. Its optical design and unmixing algorithm provide scientists remarkable flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application. The state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics provide high-resolution, high-content and high sensitivity.

The result is a system that delivers high resolution at the single cell level to resolve the most challenging cell populations, such as cells with high autofluorescence or low levels of expression of key biomarkers, regardless of assay complexity, and to isolate live cells for downstream studies.

A compact and fast reactor with 10 completely individually tempered and stirred reactor cells in the temperature range from -20°C to +150°C.

It’s the ideal solution for smaller Quality Control or Contract/Analytical Testing labs that have, or want, pre-determined, standard processes to meet high quality and accreditation requirements. Right-sized and ready for deployment, LabVantage Express means you don’t have to make any post-implementation configurations.

LAUDA thermostats are characterized by their excellent handling, highly ergonomic design, and intuitive operation. With various lines of devices including heating, cooling, circulation, process, and calibration thermostats, LAUDA thermostats offer a wide working temperature range from -100 to 320°C.
