Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM)
$37.91 – $858.34
Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) contains L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine as well as ingredients to allow for serum reduction. Additionally, Advanced McCoy’s 5A needs 2-5% FBS and provides more consistency.
Description
Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM)
Background
PurMa™ Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) contains components that allow for a 60–90% reduction in FBS supplementation. More importantly, using synthetic components such as recombinant insulin, albumin, and transferrin increase consistency. This results in less variation amongst lot-to-lot serum changes. In Advanced McCoy’s 5A, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is used as the source of glutamine. Additionally, reducing FBS requirements lowers the cost of cell culture experiments.
Contents
Advanced McCoy’s 5A Contains:
- includes all twenty essential and non-essential amino acids with higher concentrations than regular and MAX formulations.
- Advanced McCoy’s 5A incorporates elements that significantly reduce the need for a serum for cell culture.
Crucial Ingredients:
- PurMa™ Human Transferrin (Holo): prevents Improper iron storage and delivery in cell culture systems which is a major contributor to oxidative stress and protein damage.
- PurMaTM Insulin Recombinant
- Trace of other elements which mimic the elements in fetal bovine serum.
Consequently, Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) is a significant step toward a chemically defined form of this media. Unquestionably, Chemically Defined Advanced McCoy’s 5A (CD-A-M5AMM) is the outcome of decades of cutting-edge research and will soon be offered globally to laboratories that are looking for consistency and repeatability in their data.
