Any local South African distributors selling tissue-culture specific metformin?

14 May 2021 1 5K Report

We would like to treat our tissue culture cells with metformin, so the metformin needs to be sterile, TC specific. Any local distributors or is it ok to just sterile filter?

Hi Maritza Kruger. I have used Metformin in the past to treat breast cancer cell lines - I prepared it fresh each time in sterile PBS and then filter sterilized prior to treating cells. Hope it works for you :)
