Q: Which cells can Plasmax be used to culture?
A:
Plasmax has been used to successfully culture a number of cancer cell lines from different tissues. Discover some examples: Read more
Q: Can Plasmax be used like a growth focussed media (e.g. DMEM)?
A:
Yes, Plasmax is ready-to-use and is designed to be used as a direct replacement for conventional media. Cell viability has been tested in various cell types with 2.5% Foetal Bovine Serum.
Q: How does Plasmax differ from DMEM/ F12/ RPMI?
A:
Unlike traditional media, which focusses on the rapid growth of cultured cells, Plasmax was developed to mimic the in vivo environment. Plasmax contains over 80 optimised components, with over 50 at levels found within human plasma. Read more

Videos (1)Q: Why was Plasmax developed?
A:
Dr. Saverio Tardito from the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute needed a cell culture media that better reflected human physiological conditions. Discover the story of how he created Plasmax: Read more
Q: What is Plasmax?
A:
Plasmax is a cell culture medium that closely mimics the metabolic and physiological profile of human plasma. It is a chemically defined and ready-to-use medium, painstakingly developed to give the best possible representation of in vivo conditions.
