Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as a carbon source in addition to glucose. Since cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a required supplement for all cell cultures. However, if cells have been grown in medium that is supplemented with sodium pyruvate, consider continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it.

Gibco TrypLE Select is an animal origin free, recombinant enzyme for dissociating a wide range of adherent mammalian cells, including CHO, HEK 293, A529, primary human keratinocytes, and embryonic stem cells. We offer a variety of TrypLE formulations for a range of cell culture applications.

Compared to trypsin and other dissociation reagents, TrypLE Select is:

• Gentle on cells—maintains cell health for reproducible results
• Room-temperature stable—convenient to use
• Easy to use—substitutes directly into existing protocols with no inactivation required
• Animal origin free (AOF)—pure, consistent, and effective

This TrypLE Select is modified as follows:

With
• EDTA

Without
• Phenol Red

Gentle on cells
TrypLE Select, like trypsin, cleaves peptide bonds on the C-terminal sides of lysine and arginine. However, TrypLE Select’s exceptional purity increases specificity due to the action of a single enzyme. This reduces damage caused by cleavage from multiple enzymes in trypsin and other extracts.

Room-temperature stable
TrypLE Select is room-temperature stable and ready to use. TrypLE Select cell dissociation reagents remain stable for 24 months at room temperature or 2–8°C, making storage and handling easy and convenient.

Easy to use
TrypLE Select can be substituted for trypsin in existing protocols. In addition, dilution alone inactivates TrypLE Select, avoiding the need for trypsin inhibitors, such as FBS.

Animal Origin Free (AOF)
Unlike porcine trypsin and other enzymes, TrypLE Select is free of animal-derived components and is formulated on dedicated animal origin-free equipment.

Product Intended Use
Customers using TrypLE Select in a manufacturing process, who have a submission with the FDA, may request a letter of authorization from us to reference our Type II Drug Master File (DMF).

cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
TrypLE Select is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility located in Grand Island, New York. The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to ISO 13485 standards.

    Use of the RevitaCellTM Supplement for 18-24 hours post-single cell passaging provides vast improvement in cell survival. Cells are shown to reach passaging confluency within 3-4 days post-seeding.
    
    Higher specificity
    Kinase profiling of pro-survival small molecules in RevitaCell™ Supplement shows higher specificity in comparison to traditional ROCK inhibitors (i.e., Y-27632 and Thiazovivin).
    
    Quicker post-thaw recovery
    PSCs recovered at 40,000 viable cells/cm² using media supplemented with RevitaCell™ Supplement for the first 24 hours post-thaw recovery followed by feeding with unsupplemented Essential 8™ Medium will typically reach 80% confluency in <5 days, significantly reducing the average post-thaw recovery time of most cryopreservation solutions.

• Phytone Peptone and Difco Soytone—these soy-based supplements provide a nutritious source of carbohydrates for successful use in microbial fermentation. Blending these soy peptones with yeast peptones has been shown to provide additional benefit to cultures.
• Bacto Malt Extract—a water-soluble portion of malted barley, this peptone also provides carbohydrates for a variety of microbial fermentation processes

Cleaves peptide bonds on the C-terminal sides of lysine and arginine, and is a direct replacement for trypsin. Exceptional purity increases specificity and reduces damage to cells that can be caused by other enzymes present in some trypsin extracts. Used for dissociating a wide range of adherent mammalian cells, including CHO, HEK 293, A529, primary human keratinocytes, and embryonic stem cells.

TrypLE™ Select is an animal origin free, recombinant enzyme for dissociating a wide range of adherent mammalian cells, including CHO, HEK 293, A549, primary human keratinocytes, and embryonic stem cells. We offer a variety of TrypLE™ formulations for a range of cell culture applications.

Compared to trypsin and other dissociation reagents, Gibco™ TrypLE™ Select is:

• Gentle on cells—maintains cell health for reproducible results
• Room-temperature stable—convenient to use
• Easy to use—substitutes directly into existing protocols, with no inactivation required
• Animal origin free (AOF)—pure, consistent, and effective

Yeast Extracts are concentrates of the water-soluble portion of autolyzed Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. They are derived from primary grown baker’s yeast. These animal origin-free products are suitable for use as multi-functional nutritional supplements in mammalian cell culture, microbial fermentation, and insect cell culture applications. Yeast extract provides essential water-soluble vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and carbohydrates to any medium formulation.
