All lots of PromoCell DC Media are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Each lot of PromoCell DC Media is tested for the ability to support DC maturation verified by morphological evaluation and flow cytometry analysis. Each lot of PromoCell Monocyte Attachment Medium is tested for its ability to support optimal attachment and viability of peripheral blood Monocytes. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).
