FAQ

Does Stoic Bio sell cell culture media?
Stoic Bio specializes in developing novel capital equipment that provides quality cell culture solutions sustainably. Media, buffers, and balanced salt solutions are purchased through our partner, Nucleus Biologics.
Is every media and biological solution "podable"?
Although the majority of media are “podable”, meaning it is okay to mix and store the mixture at room temperature, there are still a number of component mixtures we have not tested. Some pods may require a “podability” study to define if components are podable and to ensure consistent and high-quality outcomes. Our partners at Nucleus Biologics will advise if this is the case for your custom media project.
How long are Krakatoa™ pods stable?
Stability of a Krakatoa pod is defined by the powdered components. Since most media in pods are custom, requirements for storage may vary, but directions will be printed on the pod.
How long does it take to run a pod?
Typically less than 30 minutes from start to finish, though different formulas may vary slightly.
