PIM(R)® is a new islet specific media that is manufactured under cGMP conditions for tissue culture use in immediately recovering human islets following their processing and purification from pancreases. It is designed for the first 48 hours of tissue culture at 37°C. It accelerates the recovery of the islets as demonstrated by rapid rounding up with increased glucose responsiveness, insulin content, and suitability for implantation. It currently is designed to be used with 5% Human AB Serum that is pretested for islet suitability. It does not contain any animal proteins or growth factors and has a glucose concentration of 5.8 mM. Please click on the link at the bottom of the page for the complete technical notes. Include the base medium, as well as PIM(ABS), PIM(G) & PIM(3X).

PIM(S)® is a new islet specific media that is manufactured under cGMP conditions for use in human islet culture for clinical transplantation and for research. It is designed for long term tissue culture of islets from 2 to 21 days at 37°C. It is enhanced with specific components that permit long term culture of healthy islets that maintain their glucose responsiveness, insulin content, and suitability for implantation. It currently is designed to be used with 5% Human AB Serum that is pretested for islet suitability. It does not contain any animal proteins or growth factors and has a glucose concentration of 5.8 mM. Please click on the link at the bottom of the page for the complete technical notes. Include the base medium, as well as PIM(ABS), PIM(G) & PIM(3X).

PIM(T)® is a new islet media manufactured under cGMP, specifically designed for cold storage of isolated islets that permits both short and long term islet shipping and storage. The new PIM(T)® formulation provides excellent cold storage of islets without loss of islet compactness observed with the alternatives. Unlike most all other transport media for islets, this PIM(T)® formulation permits islets to be cultured at normal islet culture temperatures (37°C) following their shipment without removing it. Most other islet transport media contain intracellular salts and other ingredients that are quite toxic to islets at temperatures > 15°C and require cold storage and handling until the transport media is completely removed. When teamed with Prodo’s new culture media, PIM(S)® and PIM(R)®, the islets transported with PIM(T)® can be directly transferred from the transport container to the tissue culture incubator and undergo only a 50% media change with PIM(S)® or PIM(R)®.
