Application

Complete, chemically-defined medium formulated to optimize cell growth and protein expression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.

Features and Benefits

Developed to meet the needs of biotechnology and vaccine manufacturing, this medium supports rapid initial cell growth and high levels of protein expression in suspension cultures. This medium supports and maintains high cell densities for extended periods, resulting in increased productivity.

Other Notes

Proprietary formulation containing inorganic salts, HEPES and sodium bicarbonate buffers, essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, recombinant human insulin, other organic compounds, trace elements, and surfactants.
Does not contain antibiotics, antimycotics, L-glutamine, transferrin, hydrolysates, or other undefined nutrients or supplements. Contains no animal-derived components or components synthesized from animal-derived materials.

Caution

Do not freeze. Protect from light. Several components of the medium are light labile and should not be exposed to light for lengthy periods of time.

Reconstitution

Aseptically add 20-40 mL of 200 mM L-glutamine solution per liter of medium prior to use.

Using Microarray Technology to Select Housekeeping Genes in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells

In the present study, we have identifi ed species-specifi c housekeeping genes (HKGs) for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells using data from microarray gene expression profiling.

Signal Peptide Optimization: Effect On Recombinant Monoclonal IgG Productivity, Product Quality And Antigen-Binding Affinity

A signal peptide is a 5-30 amino acid (aa) peptide present at the N-terminus of secretory proteins.

Mgat4 May Play a Role in Increased Sialylation by Overexpressing Functional MGAT1 in Mgat1-Disrupted Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells

MGAT1 adds N-acetylglucosamine to the Man5GlcNAc2 (Man5) structure. Goh et al. reported increased sialylation after restoring MGAT1 function in MGAT1 deficient CHO cells.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
