LHC serum-free media are the most widely used products for culture of bronchial epithelial cells. This is a supplemented medium. For maximum flexibility and convenience, we also offer LHC basal medium.

Applications:
Engineered specifically for the growth of bronchial epithelial cells such as IB3-1, S9, and C38, BEAS-2B, BZR, BBM, Het-1A, NHBE (normal human bronchial epithelial cells), and BBE (bovine bronchial epithelial cells) for asthma, allergy, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary, and esophageal cancer research without further supplements.

Performance and quality testing:
Performance tested in a growth assay using BEAS-2B cells.
