Selecting the appropriate growth media depends on several factors:
Cell or Tissue Type: Different cells or tissues have unique nutritional and environmental requirements. For instance, neuronal cells might need media enriched with specific growth factors. Purpose of the Study: The objective of your experiment (e.g., proliferation, differentiation, or maintenance) will influence your choice. For example, proliferation studies may require media with high nutrient content. Components of the Media: Components such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and growth factors must be considered to meet the specific needs of the cells or tissues.
