Cardiomyocyte Growth Medium

Cardiomyocyte Growth Medium (CGM) is a complete medium designed for optimal growth of human cardiomycotyes in vitro. It is a sterile, liquid medium containing essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors and trace minerals. The medium is serum-free. It is HEPES and 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 growth of differentiated human cardiomyocytes in vitro.

This medium is intended to be used as a supplemental growth medium for cardiomyocytes that were differentiated using the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Cardiomyocyte Differentiation Kit (PSCCDK, Cat. #5901).  For more information regarding its use for differentiation, other materials required, and troubleshooting guides, please see the 5901 product sheet.
