Cell Systems News — Cell Culture Medium

Turn good experiments into great ones. In this article, we share best practices on choosing the right endothelial cells, selecting assay-appropriate media and coatings, and optimizing seeding density to improve reproducibility and translational impact.

Transporting therapeutic drugs and agents across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has always been a challenge for brain disease therapy. This study examines the permeability of 2D graphene nanosheets through the BBB using a popular in vitro BBB monolayer model constructed with Cell Systems primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells or hBMECs (Cat# ACBRI 376).

We get a lot of questions about the different cell culture media we offer, so let’s take a minute to explain our media catalog.  First, the benefits of using Cell Systems cell culture media: optimization, consistency, and versatility. Our proprietary media formulations were developed and optimized for use with Cell Systems primary cells over the last 29 years, so we know a lot about keeping our cells happy. Our media is manufactured in large-batch lots in GMP/ISO compliant facilities (fact check) to our exact specifications, ensuring consistency for your lab’s cell culture. And even though the recipes were perfected for...
