Myocyte Growth Medium
Our Myocyte Growth Medium is a low serum (5% V/V) medium supplemented with well chosen hormones and growth factors. It was developed for the optimal expansion and maintenance of primary cardiac myocytes in culture.
Although all our media are optimized for use with primary human cells, we have received feedback from customers that this particular medium can also be used for murine and primary rat cardiac myocytes. View a list of references where this medium was used with other species and cell types.

Please note: Due to production reasons, we have changed the label on the basal medium bottle of our Ready-to-use growth media from “Growth Medium” to “Basal Medium.” This change only affects the label; the volume and formulation remain the same. Please note that the catalogue number on the basal medium bottle differs from that of the complete Ready-to-use growth medium.
