What is another word for Low Serum Media?
Pronunciation: [lˈə͡ʊ sˈɛɹəm mˈiːdiːə] (IPA) 
Low serum media, also known as serum-free media or serum-reduced media, refers to culture media that do not contain serum or have reduced serum levels. Serum, which is derived from blood, contains various growth factors, proteins, and hormones that support cell growth and proliferation. However, the use of serum in cell culture can introduce inconsistencies and contaminants that may affect experimental results. To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed alternative media formulations that mimic the necessary components of serum, such as growth factors and nutrients, without the added complexity. These synonyms describe media formulations that can sustain cell growth and maintain cell viability in the absence or reduction of serum, providing a more controlled environment for cellular studies.
