Thermo Fisher Scientific Gibco BenchStable Media

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s latest cell culture media remains stable at room temperature, making it suitable for biological researchers looking to reduce their reliance on cold storage without disrupting their existing workflow.

Gibco BenchStable Media can be stored anywhere with other temperature-stable solutions, reducing the need for cold storage and thus saving energy. They are packed in fully recyclable boxes that virtually eliminate light exposure, which can degrade basal media components and alter their performance. In addition, Gibco media bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate with a high-density polyethylene lid — two highly recycled plastics.

The product can act as a direct replacement for basal media used in researchers’ existing workflows, allowing for easy substitution. The product line is available in the most commonly used basal media formulations: DMEM, DMEM/F-12, MEM, and RPMI 1640, all of which include GlutaMAX Supplement.

Gibco BenchStable Media supports cellular proliferation and maximum cell densities comparable to conventional basal media formulations when supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum.
