- Tool name: Plasmax™ cell culture medium
- Alternate name: Plasmax™
- Research fields: Cancer;Cell biology
- Tool sub type: Cell culture media
- Purpose: Physiologically relevant cell culture medium which mimics the metabolic and physiological profile of human plasma
- Description: Plasmax™ is a new physiologically relevant cell culture medium which mimics the metabolic and physiological profile of human plasma. It is designed to improve the metabolic fidelity and biological relevance of in vitro cancer models by recapitulating the natural in vivo metabolic environment in an in vitro setting. Researchers have found that conventional growth-focused media with non-physiological concentrations of nutrients and metabolites can skew the metabolic profile of cancer cells. Plasmax™ is optimised from over 80 components, including amino acids and derivatives, inorganic salts, trace elements, and vitamins, of which over 50 are at levels found in human plasma. Plasmax™ is also the only ready-to-use cell culture media containing growth-enhancing trace elements including vanadium, zinc, manganese, copper and selenium. Plasmax™ can be used by cancer researchers interested in cancer cell biology. It has been successfully validated across a broad range of cells - both primary and established cell lines from different tissues, species and in various experimental conditions.
