QUANTUM 333    
with L-Glutamine U15-813 500 ml

General

Fibroblasts are young cells derived from the mesenchyme. They are involved in formation of the intercellular substance of the connective tissue and fibres. Fibroblasts play an important role within research into the recovery of destroyed tissues.  Quantum 333 is a newly formulated basal medium with a balanced mixture of trace elements, selected serum fractions supplemented with insulin and an effective iron-binding molecule. The growth enhancers of the medium interact perfectly with the growth factors of the serum components for ideal culture conditions of fibroblasts.  The complete medium enables the cultivation of primary cells as well as the maintenance of normal cell lines. The medium supports optimal growth of cells from human and animal origin.
