MammaryLife ™ Basal Medium

Product Description

MammaryLife^TM is a new basal medium optimized specifically for the culture of Primary Human Mammary Epithelial Cells. MammaryLife supports the growth of these Primary Cells over a period of at least 15 population doublings.

Primary Cells cultured in MammaryLife medium out-perform cells grown in any similar medium. 

You’ll get consistently reproducible results with MammaryLife medium, because it’s balanced and supplemented expressly for Primary Mammary Epithelial Cells to maximize that individual cell type’s life expectancy.

• Your  Primary Cells will plate better using MammaryLife optimized media (as compared to our nearest competitors’ media or traditional high-serum media)
• Your Primary Cells will grow more quickly in MammaryLife than in other commercially-available media
• Primary Cells will maintain better morphology when cultured in MammaryLife medium

• Protective packaging – MammaryLife Basal Medium is provided in a light-protected 500 mL bottle.

MammaryLife Basal Medium requires the appropriate LifeFactors (supplements and growth factors) to promote guaranteed proliferation and function of cells:

• Use MammaryLife LifeFactors Kit:  LS-1088

Shown at left: MammaryLife Medium grows Primary Human Mammary Epithelial Cells through at least 15 population doublings at rates that meet or exceed other commercially available media. MammaryLife Medium induces superior proliferation while maintaining excellent cell  morphology in mammary epithelial cells.

Shown at left and below left: Human Primary Mammary Epithelial Cells passage 4, 5 days after inoculation with 5,000 cells/cm2 (100X), in MammaryLife (below, far left) or competitor media (below, left).

MammaryLife Medium contains no antimicrobials and no phenol red components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may influence experimental results. Lifeline® offers these traditional supplements, but these are not needed or recommended to achieve optimal cell performance.
