Supplement Stock concentration and solvent Final concentration Volume/500 mL medium
Calcium chloride for KGM 0.2 M∗ in sterile H2O 0.20 mM 0.5 mL
Calcium chloride for KGM-LC 0.2 M∗ in sterile H2O 0.06 mM 0.15 mL
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) 1 μg/mL in sterile HBS 1 ng/mL 0.5 mL
Hydrocortisone 0.5 mg/mL in 100% ethanol 0.5 μg/mL 0.5 mL
Human insulin 5 mg/mL in sterile 10 mM HCl 5 μg/mL 0.5 mL
Bovine pituitary extract (BPE)∗∗ 100% 0.2% 1 mL
Penicillin/Streptomycin/Fungizone (PSF) 100× 5 mL

∗The calcium chloride 0.2M stock solution is provided with purchase of Medium 154CF, or can be made in-house.

∗∗We recommend centrifuging BPE to remove particulates prior to freezing aliquots to use in supplementing media. While not a required step, this will significantly reduce potential for debris that causes clouding of media (which could otherwise be confused with microbial contamination). Centrifuge for 20 min at 16,000 rpm (∼20,000 x g), 4°C, then sterile filter through a 0.45 μm filter, then finally a 0.2 μm filter, prior to freezing aliquots at -80°C.
