Cell Culture Medium

Cell Culture Medium
Presentation
BioWest media formulations are manufactured following original
publications, standards set by the Tissue Culture Association and
accepted formulations. These formulations may vary from these
standards by substituting hydrated, chlorinated and/or the salt forms of
certain compounds where such substitutions contribute to improved
performance of the product.
Custom Made Formulations
The realisation and production of your personalised cell culture media
compositions is another of our services. In your catalogue you will find
a list of substances for cell culture media. Give us the list of components
needed and the corresponding quantities and we will produce this to
your requirements. There may be a short delay for this service.
Quality Assurance
All of the chemicals, raw materials and equipments that we use is of the
highest quality. Inorganic chemicals are analytical, ACS, USP, EP, FCC
grade or otherwise the finest grade available. All other components are
evaluated by standards established by BioWest.
All new batches of chemicals are introduced in the process after
Quality Control. The water used for media preparation is of the best
quality. It is of WFI quality, produced in several steps including
centrifugal distillation and tested for endotoxin. The resistivity is
measured in line and all values are monitored and stored by the
Quality Control department. The water is always freshly processed and
cooled down to 20°C before adding the powders.
Equipment and Conditions
All equipments used for the manufacturing of powdered and liquid
media are made of chemical inert materials which will not contaminate
the final product. For 20 years BioWest has produced for cell culture following
strict environmental conditions regarding cleanliness and moisture.
Humidity and temperature are monitored constantly to guaranty that
all chemicals are ground into fine powder. The liquid media sterilisation
is carried out by going through a 0,1 µm pore size sterile filter.
Batch Size
Batch sizes for powdered media range from 1 to 10.000 liters, for liquid
media from 1 to 1500 liters.
