Risk of Viral Disease Spreading from Drugs Manufactured Using Albumin With a risk of viral disease that can spread from drugs manufactured using albumin, the FDA has proposed expanded labeling requirements on some products. The label would warn that since the product is made from human blood, it is possible that infectious agents may be transmitted by its use. Our products contain no albumin. Read the full story here.

Cell-Ess^®, Cryo-Ess^®, and Clin-Ess^® are unique animal-component-free cell culture mediums used in research facilities as a serum replacement, cryopreservative, and as a transport preservation medium for tissues and cells.

Cell-Ess^® product offers researchers the advantage of superior performance compared to serum. As a replacement for FBS or any other type of serum, Cell-Ess^® is a 100% synthetic, reproducible medium with no lot-to-lot variation. Cell-Ess^® is free of all animal components.

Cryo-Ess^® is a replacement in cryopreservation for toxic dimethyl sulfoxide (DSMO). Cryo-Ess^® protects the cells from ice crystals by preventing crystallization during the thawing process, and has demonstrated synthetic reproducibility with no lot-to-lot variability.

Tissue specimens preserved with Clin-Ess^® have less DNA and RNA degradation and fewer artifacts than those preserved using conventional methods, allowing for more efficient and safer tissue preservation than traditional methods. Additionally, Clin-Ess^® allows for transport without paraformaldehyde and as such does not effect downstream testing such as DNA and RNA tests.
