Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Schneiders Insect Medium W1L
Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences S989510X1L

Many insect tissue culture media were formulated to mimic the main physico-chemical properties of the body fluid of specific insects. A cursory survey of the formulas of culture media designed for insect tissues reveals great qualitative and quantitative disparities in composition. Different media designed for the same species may exhibit less similarity than do two media designed for insects of different orders. Various media have been devised for the in vitro culture of Drosophila cells and tissues. The most extensively used are Schneiders medium and Echalier and Ohanessians D-22 medium. Drosophila cells have been employed to study a variety of biological processes including genetics endocrinology physiology and cell biology as well as recombinant protein expression.
