Media options for cell growth, differentiation, and custom applications

Our MyoTonic Family of Culture Media is custom made for use with our skMDC cell samples to ensure the best possible performance in vitro. We offer basal, differentiation, and cryopreservation media in standard formulations as well as serum-free and insulin-free options.

“The inventory of cells at Cook MyoSite is unrivaled, and it’s also more readily available than other suppliers. With MyoSite, there’s a PDF that gives all the details and makes life a lot easier when selecting cells. And as I said, the quantity of samples available is really helpful for designing experiments when we want multiple donors to compare.”

Access the highest quality muscle cells available

Our Guarantee
Icon-4

Reproducibility

Muscle cells are our core expertise, and our quality-controlled manufacturing process means no more worrying about consistent access to pure and uncontaminated cell cultures.

Icon-1

Dependability

Cook MyoSite manufactures each lot of skMDC through a tightly controlled process using only high-quality materials to ensure consistent isolation of the muscle cells. These populations expand reliably in culture to experimentally relevant quantities, while maintaining their desired phenotype.

Icon-2

Characterization

Cook MyoSite, Inc. only provides cell samples of the highest purity to researchers. The determination of purity is made via immunocytological analyses and/or flow cytometry of Desmin and Myosin Heavy Chain. These data ensure the provision of a well-defined primary starting culture to researchers.

Icon-3

Quality

Our production of quality skMDC populations is backed by more than 20 years of experience in controlled cellular manufacturing at Cook MyoSite, Inc. Each lot is free of adventitious agents and is tested rigorously to ensure product consistency and performance.
