BGJb medium was developed for fetal rat long bone growth in chemically defined media. BGJb is a modified medium developed by Sylvia Fitton-Jackson using the original BGJ medium developed by Biggers, Gwatkin and Judah. BGJb medium creates favorable conditions for fetal bone growth and calcification.
Complete Formulation.

Gibco™ BGJb Medium features higher levels of amino acids and glucose and enhanced buffering capacity to improve fetal bone growth and calcification conditions.

Use BGJb Medium
BGJb does not contain proteins, lipids or growth factors. Therefore, BGJb requires supplementation, usually 10% Fetal bovine serum (FBS). BGJb uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.5 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.

cGMP Manufacturing
Gibco™ BGJb Medium is manufactured in a cGMP compliant facility in Grand Island, New York. The factory is an FDA-registered medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard.
