Cytiva Cross Linked Dextran Matrix Cytodex 1

Cytodex 1 is a general purpose microcarrier. It is particularly suitable for most established cell lines and for production of viruses or cell products from cultures of primary cells and normal diploid cell strains. Microcarrier culture is a technique which makes possible the practical high yield culture of anchorage-dependent cells. Cytodex has been specifically developed for the culture of a wide range of animal cells in culture volumes ranging from a few milliliters to more than six thousand liters. Using Cytodex in simple suspension culture systems provides yields of several million cells per milliliter. Formed by substituting a cross-linked dextran matrix with positively charged DEAE groups distributed throughout the matrix, is a general purpose microcarrier.

• General-purpose microcarrier for most established, anchorage-dependent cell lines.
• Contains positive charges throughout the microporous matrix.
• Transparent for easy microscopic examination of attached cells.
