FAQs - Classical Media
Classical media are the first generation of cell culture media and have been used in cell culture research for decades. They are a mixture of inorganic salts, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, and other components needed for optimal growth. They are typically used with serum and are multi-purpose, meaning they can be used to grow different cell lines.
