Application

This animal component-free medium (containing no hypoxanthine or thymidine) is formulated to maximize cell growth and recombinant protein production using the Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) gene amplification system in DHFR- 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.
