Serafree 1 500 mL

Serum free all-round Medium with phenol red.

Serum free all-round Medium with phenol red. Based on Iscove's MEM, trace elements, albumin, cholesterol, soya lipids and vitamins were added to the medium. It does not contain any growth or attachment factors. Serafree 1 is a multi-purpose ready-to-use medium suitable for a variety of cell types. In Serafree 1 adherent as well as non-adherent cells can be cultivated. As the medium contains no growth factors there is a possibility to investigate the special effects of added growth factors on the different cell types. With some cell types a pre-treatment of the incubation dishes with gelatine, collagen, poly-D-lysine or fibronectin can considerably facilitate the culture under serum free conditions or even enable it. Please note the above applies to low seeding densities.
