Mammalian Cell Culture Media

Cell culture media are quite complex solutions for adequately cultivating and maintaining cells in an artificial environment outside a living organism. Conception provides vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and factors essential for cell growth. Specific formulations can be prepared for custom cell types to meet the needs of particular cell types in research or in clinical applications.
