Composition

Amnioquick is supplied frozen and ready to use and contains modified alpha-MEM, antibiotics, L-glutamine, pre-tested fetal bovine serum FBS, hormones, growth factors, phenol red as a pH indicator and is buffered with sodium bicarbonate. The homogeneous "ready to use" formulation reduces technical errors and contamination of the culture. In addition, Amnioquick supports more efficient cell attachment and cell growth, leading to early chromosome analysis.
