General description

MCDB-131 medium provides a defined and optimally balanced nutritional environment that selectively promotes the growth of specific cell types. MCDB-131 is designed to support clonal growth of human microvascular endothelial cells, including human umbilical vein endothelial cells, when supplemented with 0.7% FBSP, 10 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, and 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone. MCDB media is made for the low-protein or serum-free growth of specific cell types using hormones, growth factors, trace elements, or low levels of dialyzed fetal bovine serum protein (FBSP). 

Application

MCDB-131 Medium has been used:

  • as a component of the basal medium to culture bovine retinal endothelial cells
  • to culture bovine lung microvascular endothelial cells
  • for the isolation of porcine endocranial endothelial cells and porcine aortic endothelial cells

Quantity

Formulated to contain 11.6 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 1.18 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
