Insulin Transferrin Selenium

ITS is a mixture of insulin, transferrin, and selenium. It is a general cell supplement designed for use in classical media such as DMEM, RPMI-1640 and nutrient media such as Ham's F-12, DMEM/F-12. ITS enhances cell proliferation and decreases the serum requirement of many cell types [1, 2, 3]. When ITS is used with a low percent serum, proliferation is reported to be similar to medium supplemented with 10 percent serum. ITS is prepared in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) without phenol red. Formula - Insulin: 1.0 mg/ml. Apo-Transferrin: 1.0 mg/ml. Sodium Selenite: 3.4 µM.
