What is classical cell culture media?

Cell culture medium is a liquid or gel designed to support the growth and maintenance of a variety of cells and cell lines. Classical media are the first generation of cell culture media and have been used in labs for decades. Media contains inorganic salts, amino acids, vitamins, and other components needed for optimal cell growth.

Can I customize classical cell culture media?

Yes. When clicking “Order now,” you will be navigated to NB-Lux, our online ordering and customization tool. In NB-Lux, you can add or remove components, adjust concentrations, select sizing and testing options, modify packaging configurations, and order your media.

Additional services like NB-AIR and Formulation Services offer media design and customization assistance.
