Why does CELLnTEC have different media for isolation / culture expansion and differentiation of primary cells?
CELLnTEC’s unique PCT media are specifically designed to retain cells in a highly proliferative phenotype and delay differentiation. Thus they are not well suited to situations where cells should be induced to differentiate. For this reason, CELLnTEC provides non-PCT versions of its media, which can be used when cells are induced to differentiate. Differentiation protocols describing the use of non-PCT media can be found in the resources section of the CELLnTEC website.
