Gibco® Phytohemagglutinin, M form (PHA-M) is a solution made from a crude extract of the red kidney bean Phaseolus vulgaris. This extract is capable of inducing blastogenesis in vitro in various mammalian mononuclear cells when used at a concentration of 1–2% v/v. Each lot of Gibco® Phytohemagglutinin is performance tested at 1.5% using peripheral blood…
Gibco® Trypsin-EDTA is made from trypsin powder, an irradiated mixture of proteases derived from porcine pancreas. Due to its digestive strength, trypsin is widely used for cell dissociation, routine cell culture passaging, and primary tissue dissociation. The trypsin concentration required for dissociation varies with cell type and experimental requirements.
Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) is a balanced salt solution used for a variety of applications, including reagent preparation, diluting cells for flow cytometry, and as a cell culture reagent. These PBS tablets are not intended for cell culture as they are not tested for sterility. We offer a variety of Gibco® PBS formulations for cell culture…
