Description

Preadipocyte Medium (PAM) is a complete medium designed for optimal growth of normal human preadipocytes in vitro. It is a sterile, liquid medium which contains essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors, trace minerals and a low concentration of fetal bovine serum (5%). The medium is 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 a defined and optimally balanced nutritional environment that selectively promotes proliferation and growth of normal human preadipocytes in vitro.

Components

PAM consists of 500 ml of basal medium, 25 ml of fetal bovine serum (FBS, Cat. No. 0025), 5 ml of preadipocyte growth supplement (PAGS, Cat. No. 7252) and 5 ml of penicillin/streptomycin solution (P/S, Cat. No. 0503).

Product Use

PAM is for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.

Storage

Store the basal medium at 4°C, the PAGS, the FBS and the P/S solution at -20°C. Protect from light.
