Bronchial Epithelial Cell Medium

Bronchial Epithelial Cell Medium (BEpiCM), when used with Bronchial Epithelial Cell Growth Supplement (BEpiCGS, Cat #3262), is a complete medium designed for optimal growth of normal bronchial epithelial cells in vitro. It is a sterile, liquid medium which contains essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors and trace minerals. The medium is HEPES and bicarbonate buffered and has a pH of 7.4 when equilibrated in an incubator with an atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. The medium is formulated (quantitatively and qualitatively) to provide an optimally balanced nutritional environment that selectively supports the growth of normal bronchial epithelial cells in vitro.

BEpiCM consists of 500 ml of basal medium, 5 ml of bronchial epithelial cell growth supplement (BEpiCGS, Cat. No. 3262) and 5 ml of penicillin/streptomycin solution (P/S, Cat. No. 0503).
