description Product Description
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is an essential vitamin used as a key supplement in cell culture media, including for mammalian, plant, and insect cell cultures. It supports red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA/RNA synthesis, preventing deficiencies that can impair cell growth and viability in laboratory settings.
This product is specifically tested and qualified for use in cell and insect cell culture applications, ensuring high purity (98-100% by HPLC) and solubility in water. It is also employed in medical treatments for vitamin B12 deficiency and pernicious anemia, in fortified foods and supplements for vegetarians/vegans, in skincare for anti-aging benefits, and in animal feed to promote livestock health.
