Legal

Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.

KCell DMEM is a basal medium formulated for the culture of a wide variety of mammalian cells, including fibroblasts, muscle cells, and primary stem cells. It provides the essential amino acids, vitamins, salts, and glucose required to sustain cell metabolism and proliferation. The high-glucose version supports rapid growth of fast-dividing cell lines, while the low-glucose version is suited to more sensitive or differentiated cells.

Produced in ISO-certified, cGMP-validated facilities, KCell DMEM ensures lot-to-lot consistency and compliance with global quality standards. Both powder and liquid forms are available with flexible customisation options, including L-glutamine, phenol red, sodium pyruvate, and bicarbonate buffering. Each batch is tested for sterility, pH, and osmolarity before release.

The medium is supplied sterile and protected from light, ready for use in cultivated-meat and cellular-agriculture research. Its composition mirrors the nutrient balance used in academic and industrial cell-culture protocols, providing a reliable foundation for scaling R&D processes into pilot and production environments.
