Whois & Analysis for stemcell.com

STEMCELL Technologies Inc. is a global biotechnology company that develops, manufactures and sells products and provides services that support academic and industrial scientists.

The company specializes in developing cell culture media, cell separation products, instruments and other reagents for use in stem cell, immunology, cancer, regenerative medicine and cellular therapy research.

Cell culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment.

Cell culture conditions can vary for each cell type, but artificial environments consist of a suitable vessel with substrate or medium that supplies the essential nutrients (amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals), growth factors, hormones, and gases (CO2, O2), and regulates the physio-chemical environment (pH buffer, osmotic pressure, temperature).

Most cells require a surface or an artificial substrate (adherent or monolayer culture) whereas others can be grown free floating in culture medium (suspension culture).

A reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or added to test if a reaction occurs.

The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably—however, a reactant is more specifically a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction.

Solvents, though involved in the reaction, are usually not called reactants.

Similarly, catalysts are not consumed by the reaction, so they are not reactants.

In biochemistry, especially in connection with enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the reactants are commonly called substrates.

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy.

Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field, composed of many .

However, despite the broad scope of biology, there are certain unifying concepts within it that consolidate it into single, coherent field.

In general, biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation of new species.

It is also understood today that all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy and by regulating their internal environment to maintain a stable and vital condition known as homeostasis.

A growth medium or culture medium is a solid or liquid or semi-solid designed to support the growth of microorganisms or cells, or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.
