Tools for epithelial cell studies

Millipore introduced its family of Epigro epithelial cells and culture media for bioscience research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

Epigro products have been optimised to provide improved cell culture for critical research applications. The breakdown of control mechanisms in epithelial cells is a frequent contributor to cancer progression and metastasis. Epithelial cell cultures are also commonly used in respiratory and dermatological research.

Each Epigro medium is formulated to provide an optimised environment for its corresponding Epigro cell type. Consequently, cells proliferate faster, exhibit improved morphology, and show better viability than epithelial cells cultured in other media formulations.

The media are provided in unique, light-blocking, temperature-monitored packaging to ensure stability and protect the media from damage by light and contamination.

The family of Epigro cell types includes keratinocytes, small airway epithelial cells, corneal cells, and prostate epithelial cells.
