Do I need additional supplements when working with PromoCell growth media? Do I have to add extra FCS?
After addition of the SupplementMix or SupplementPack to our basal medium do I have to add FCS you obtain the complete growth medium. No further supplementation with serum or growth factors is required. Please note: Our media do not contain antibiotics. If you wish to use antibiotics you can add penicillin/streptomycin or gentamicin/amphotericin B at standard concentrations. Addition of antibiotics can however reduce the doubling time of the cells up to 30-40%.
