Cell culture media
What is cell culture?
Cell culture is a common laboratory technique used in various fields of biology and biotechnology to grow cells and maintain them outside their natural environment (in vivo). (Cell) culture media play a critical role in the success of cell culture techniques by providing the essential nutrients, growth factors, and environmental conditions required to support cell survival and growth.
What are culture media?
Culture media, also known as growth media, are nutrient-rich substances used to support the growth and maintenance of microorganisms, cells, or tissues in a controlled environment. Common components of culture media include amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, basic and trace elements, inorganic salts, hormones, serum, buffering systems, and antibiotics.
