Specialty cell culture media
Serum-free media
Serum-free media and reagents have a wide range of applications, including production of monoclonal antibodies, viral antigens, and recombinant proteins using a variety of mammalian and invertebrate cell lines. there are numerous advantages associated with the use of serum-free media formulations.
- Increased definition
- Increased lot-to-lot consistency
- Simplified purification and downstream processing
- Better control over the physiological condition of cultures
- Ability to optimize formulations for specific cell types
Some examples:
- X-VIVO chemically defined, serum-free medium for hematopoietic cells
