The PichiaPink™ Media Kit is a set of convenient prepackaged media pouches for use with the PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System. The PichiaPink™ Media Kit contains media needed to grow Pichia pastoris strains from frozen stocks to cultures ready for transformation and selection. The PichiaPink™ Media Kit is an easy way get started using Pichia pastoris for protein production. Use the PichiaPink™ Media Kit to refill your PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System Kits.

The PichiaPink™ Media Kit comes with prepackaged pouches for the following solutions. Each pouch makes 1 liter of solution. Media pouches should be kept dry and stored at room temperature.


Why Choose the PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System?
The PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System is based on the yeast Pichia pastoris. Advantages of Pichia pastoris include rapid growth, well-defined genetic background, simple media formulation, and easy handling. For over 30 years, Pichia pastoris has been used by labs around the world for producing hundreds of different proteins from many species including human (Ref 1, 2). The PichiaPink™ Yeast Expression System allows convenient and cost-effective protein production from small to large scales.
