About Cell Culture Media
A growth medium or culture medium is a liquid or solution designed to support the growth of micro organisms or mammalian cells. There are different types of media for growing different types of cells.
Modern cell-culture media are fully chemically defined, balanced blends of amino acids, salts, vitamins and sugars, which supply essential nutrients required for cell growth in an artificial environment, such as e.g. the biopharmaceutical production of a monoclonal antibody. These media are entirely free of animal-derived components and represent the purest and most consistent cell culture environment.
