Life Technologies recalls Gibco Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) high glucose, pyruvate model 11995123 due to potential mold growth from leaked media. Affected lots may cause contamination in cell culture.
It has been determined that the fill port tube seal integrity was compromised during the manufacture of the product lot. This may cause media to leak out of the primary sterile packaging into outer non-sterile dust cover packaging, and subsequently mold may grow in the pooled, leaked media.
Life Technologies recalls a specific cell culture medium product due to a manufacturing defect that could cause leaked media to mold. This poses a risk of contamination in sensitive tissue and cell culture work.
The fill port tube seal was compromised during manufacturing, causing media to leak from sterile packaging into non-sterile outer packaging. This leaked media can pool and become a breeding ground for mold, potentially contaminating cell cultures.
Researchers and lab technicians using this specific cell culture medium for tissue and cell studies are most at risk. The recall affects only the specific lot number 1932659.
Check for the model number 11995123 on the product label. The affected lot number is 1932659. This product is used for tissue and cell culture.
