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.
