Description

General description

SyntheChol^® synthetic cholesterol, for Cell Culture Emprove^® Expert, is a synthetic cholesterol supplement that has been developed to specifically meet the demands of the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Due to the synthetic nature of the material, the elimination of animal-derived components reduces the incidence of performance variability in the medium and eliminates safety risks due to adventitious agents associated with these components. With a newly optimized manufacturing process, this product is available in quantities from grams to tons to support your development progress.

Application

This supplement is designed to be added to our chemically defined,animal component-free CHO and insect (Sf-RVN) cell media, as well as HEK-293media for VGT manufacturing. This material has been tested for compatibilitywith CHO and Sf-9 cell lines. Cholesterol provides structure to cellularmembranes, stores energy, and is vital in cell signaling and in regulating cellfunctions.
This product is intended for research or further manufacturing but notfor human or therapeutic use.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Major component of all biological membranes; ~25% of total brain lipid is cholesterol.
