Fujifilm Irvine Scientific Celebrates 50 Years of Providing Cell Culture Media Products and Services

On May 11, 2021, Fujifilm Irvine Scientific celebrated 50 years of providing cell culture media products and services.

Originally established in the 1970s as a fetal bovine serum supplier, the company continuously proved its strength in the cell culture solutions space by modernizing embryo culture with commercially available media for in vitro fertilization clinics worldwide and by bringing chemically defined media to biotherapeutic manufacturers, Fujifilm Irvine Scientific said in a company press release. Recently, the company introduced products better suited for cell culture-based vaccine production, and advanced cell and gene therapy applications.
