Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM)

(11 customer reviews)

Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) contains L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine as well as ingredients to allow for serum reduction.  Additionally, Advanced McCoy’s 5A needs 2-5% FBS and provides more consistency.

Description

Background

PurMa™ Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) contains components that allow for a 60–90% reduction in FBS supplementation. More importantly, using synthetic components such as recombinant insulin, albumin, and transferrin increase consistency. This results in less variation amongst lot-to-lot serum changes. In Advanced McCoy’s 5A, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is used as the source of glutamine. Additionally, reducing FBS requirements lowers the cost of cell culture experiments.

Contents

Advanced McCoy’s 5A Contains:

  • includes all twenty essential and non-essential amino acids with higher concentrations than regular and MAX formulations.
  • Advanced McCoy’s 5A incorporates elements that significantly reduce the need for a serum for cell culture.

Crucial Ingredients:

  • PurMa™ Human Transferrin (Holo): prevents Improper iron storage and delivery in cell culture systems which is a major contributor to oxidative stress and protein damage.
  • PurMaTM Insulin Recombinant
  • Trace of other elements which mimic the elements in fetal bovine serum.

Consequently, Advanced McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (A-M5AMM) is a significant step toward a chemically defined form of this media. Unquestionably, Chemically Defined Advanced McCoy’s 5A (CD-A-M5AMM) is the outcome of decades of cutting-edge research and will soon be offered globally to laboratories that are looking for consistency and repeatability in their data.

    Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.
