Growth Medium:
The Growth Medium is a complete medium with growth supplements already added to Basal Medium. Because it is ready for use, Growth Medium is the most popular cell Medium format.
Growth Medium Kit:
For the Growth Medium Kits, Basal Medium and Growth Supplements are packaged separately. The Kit format provides researchers the flexibility to adjust supplements as needed.
Basal Medium:
Basal Medium is a defined medium that contains essential and nonessential amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, organic compounds, and trace elements, but does not contain the Growth Supplements necessary for cell growth.
Growth Supplement:
Growth Supplements include cell-specific Growth Factors, antibiotics, with or without serum. Each Growth Supplement is optimized for its specific cell type. When the Growth Supplements are added to the Basal Medium it forms the Growth Medium.
