Product Description

ProstaLife™ medium is optimized for the culture of Human Male Primary Reproductive Cells, including Primary Prostate Epithelial Cells and Primary Seminal Vesicle Epithelial Cells.

You’ll get consistently reproducible results with ProstaLife culture medium, which is balanced and supplemented expressly for Primary Prostate Epithelial Cells to maximize that individual cell type’s life expectancy.

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

ProstaLife Basal Medium contains no antimicrobials and phenol red. These supplements are available from Lifeline but are not required for eukaryotic cell proliferation.

• Kit format for formulation flexibility: ProstaLife culture medium is offered in a kit format composed of basal medium and associated supplements and growth factors called “LifeFactors.” This kit allows you to prepare fresh medium in your laboratory, extending shelf life and enhancing performance.
• Protective packaging:  ProstaLife Basal Medium is provided in a light-protected 500 mL bottle.

Shown above: Human Primary Prostate Epithelial Cells, passage 3, 5 days after inoculation with 2,500 cells/cm2 (100X).

Superior proliferation: ProstaLife Medium grows Human Primary Prostate Epithelial Cells and Human Male Primary Reproductive Epithelial Cells through at least 15 population doublings at rates that meet or exceed other commercially-available media while maintaining excellent cell morphology. In comparisons with other commercially-available media, ProstaLife shows superior proliferation at different seeding densities.

Shown below: Human Primary Prostate Epithelial Cells inoculated at the stated density in 24-well plates and stained with crystal violet. Higher O.D. 590 represents a greater number of cells per well, and therefore, better proliferation.

The LifeFactors Kit includes:
