PAN-Biotech : What floorutions for cell culture?

An independent German manufacturer, PAN-Biotech is a specialist in Made in Germany cell culture reagents: sera and alternatives, ready-to-use media, supplements, buffers and cell detachment enzymes. With exemplary batch traceability and rigorous quality controls, the brand supplies academic labs, biotech, pharma and QC teams day in, day out. Distributed by Dutscher, it combines reliability, consistent performance and responsive support for robust, reproducible cultures.

A trusted leader for over 20 years

For more than two decades, PAN-Biotech has been developing cell culture reagents in Bavaria that set the benchmark across European laboratories. Founded on a simple idea – delivering products with consistent quality and direct customer support – the brand has built its manufacturing and quality control around exacting standards: batch testing, accessible Certificates of Analysis, and full traceability. Grounded in feedback from the bench, it has steadily broadened its range (sera, media, supplements, buffers) and pack sizes to fit the needs of both research and QC. Growth has accelerated through a strong distribution network – including Dutscher – and responsible innovation with alternatives to serum (Panexin, hPL) backed by tightly controlled sourcing. Today, PAN-Biotech remains focused on its core: reliable bioreagents for animal and human cells, with dependable lead times and hands-on, local technical support.

Expertise and Capabilities

The expertise of PAN-Biotech covers all cell culture needs for research and quality control.
• Sera and alternatives
The brand is recognised for its sera with traceable origin, available as heat-inactivated or gamma-irradiated. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing (sterility, endotoxins, cell performance) and is supplied with CoA. To reduce animal-derived inputs, PAN-Biotech offers serum-free/xeno-free solutions such as Panexin, as well as hPL (Human Platelet Lysate) valued for MSC expansion.
• Media and supplements
Standard media (e.g., DMEM, RPMI 1640, MEM, Ham’s F-12) are ready to use, with tightly controlled parameters (pH, osmolarity). Key supplements — L-glutamine, NEAA, pyruvate, HEPES — enable precise adaptation to the most demanding cell lines. Common antibiotics (e.g., P/S) and routine additives complete the ecosystem.
• Buffers and detachment
For washing and maintenance steps, the brand provides PBS, HBSS and other validated buffers. Detachment solutions (such as trypsin-EDTA preparations) ensure reproducible passaging, with variants formulated to preserve viability.
• Quality, traceability and service
Made in Germany production runs under a stringent quality system (including ISO 9001) and controlled cold-chain logistics. Lot selection, samples on request, certificates of analysis and technical support help safeguard your protocols and reproducibility. In partnership with Dutscher, these consumables reach your bench fast, in formats that match your throughput.
