Introduction of Research and Development Technology

  Watch Video on “Proliferation Control Cultures”

The culture medium of the Xyltech™ series are research reagents based on the sugar-based cell proliferation control technology developed by the Advanced Research Institutes, a research division of Bourbon Corporation through joint research with Shinshu University. We will introduce the usage method and a time-lapse video of cell growth states in the video, taking human fibroblast cultures as an example.

  Features of Xyltech™ and Xyltech™ Growth

  Key Technology Overview

The Xyltech™ series culture medium can be used to culture by controlling the growth rate of cells. The cells can then be rapidly re-proliferated by re-culturing in Xyltech™ Growth series.

  Application

The system reduces the number of passages of cultured cells, prevents deterioration of cell quality by avoiding cryopreservation, reduces the burden of cell culture work on holidays, and reduces the cost of continuous maintenance culturing.

Bourbon Corporation has been conducting basic research on cultured cells using advanced cell culture technology cultivated through years of pluripotent stem cell research. We are developing high-performance culture media by utilizing extensive knowledge, cell culture know-how, and proprietary technologies obtained through our research and development to date. In recent years, we have been working on the development of verified-serum-free culture media, for which demand is increasing as the field of regenerative medicine emerges.
