McCoy's 5A培養基 GlutaMAX™補充劑

McCoy's 5A培養基 GlutaMAX™補充劑

Dr. Thomas McCoy originally formulated McCoy's 5A medium as a modification of Basal Medium 5A. Unlike other media, McCoy's 5A contains the reducing agent glutathione, bacto-peptone, and a high level of glucose. This product also includes Dr. Hsu's addition of Hanks' salts to enable use outside a CO2 incubator.

cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System:

Gibco™ McCoy's 5A is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility located in Paisley, Scotland, UK. The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard.

Gibco™ McCoy's 5A (modified) requires serum supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Gibco™ McCoy's 5A (modified) uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L) and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
