Zellshield^TM

The Cell Culture Contamination Preventive

Zell Shield™ protects cell cultures from a broad range of common contaminants. The extremely powerful combination of innovative antibiotics is blocking the bacterial DNA synthesis, the protein biosynthesis or shows macrolidic properties. These bactericidal features allow the permanent removal of the contaminants from the culture. The use of old fashioned antibiotics like penicillin/streptomycin, nystatin or amphotericin B is not longer required! The easy applicable 100x aqueous solution is sterile filtrated and ready-to-go.

Benefits of Zell Shield^TM

• Brood Applicability
  Zell Shield™ can be used for permanent cell cultures as well as for the protection of freshly prepared primary cells.

  Up to date, no cytotoxic effect on various cell lines treated has been reported if used as described.
• Specific
  Zell Shield™ is active against most intracellular and extracellular growing gram negative and gram positive bacteria, mycoplasma, protozoon, fungi and yeast.
• Easy to use
  Simply add Zell Shield™ directly to a freshly prepared cell culture or the premixed cell medium.
