Cell Culture Products

APE-BridgePath Scientific (ABS) distributes Athena’s proprietary serum-free medium (SFM). These products have simplified and defined compositions that can be used for a wide range of research purposes including drug discovery, physiological, and gene expression studies. Serum-free medium reduces the possibility of contamination and eliminates potential sources of infectious agents without sacrificing productivity. They can be used to propagate a wide variety of mammalian cell lines. ABS also offers custom serum-free medium manufacturing.

BRFF-BMZERO™

Designed to grow human breast cells

Complete serum-free medium

Antibiotic-free

Used by major cancer research centers

BRFF-BMZERO™ is a complete serum-free medium designed to grow human breast cells.

BRFF-EPM2™

Optimized for growth of human esophageal epithelial cells

Complete serum-free medium

Antibiotic-free

Used by major cancer research centers

BRFF-EPM2™ is a complete serum-free medium designed to grow human epidermal-like cells

BRFF-HPC1™

Designed to grow human prostate cells

Complete serum-free medium

Used by major cancer research centers

BRFF-HPC1™ is a complete serum-free medium designed for establishing new cell lines from human prostate tissue.

BRFF-P4-8F™

Supports growth of human prostatic cancer cell lines

Complete serum-free medium

Used by major cancer research centers

BRFF-P4-8F™ was designed to grow the immortalized normal prostatic cell line 267-B1.

DMEM F/12

Ready-to-use with L-glutamine, Hepes, BPE and EGF

Designed to culture wide range of cells

Complete serum-free medium

Antibiotic-free

DMEM/F12 is a serum-free medium formulation for general use.

IMDM

Supplemented with BPE and EGF

Complete serum-free medium

Antibiotic-free

No phenol red

Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) is a standard serum-free medium.

PET™

Specially formulated “Cold Trypsin” Reagent

Yields more viable cells than traditional trypsin

PET™ is a superior cell dissociation reagent specially formulated for use under “Cold Trypsin” conditions. The unique blend of polyvinylpyrrolidone, EGTA and trypsin in a HBS base allows the trypsin to retain enzymatic activity under cool temperatures, unlike standard trypsin which requires 37°C.

Freezing Media Pair

Exceptional cryopreservation system

Allows for superior cell viability

Used by major cancer research centers

Athena’s Freezing Media Pair are a dual-cryopreservation system used to safely store suspensions of viable cells detached from monolayer cultures using the “cold trypsin” method with Athena’s cell dissociation media, PET™.

Bovine Pituitary Extract

Produced from certified disease-free animals

Proprietary manufacturing process that removes unwanted proteins

Bovine Pituitary Extract is prepared from BSE-free animals. The extracts are prepared from pituitaries harvested from animals in the United States.
