General description

EX-CELL® CD CHO FUSION is a chemically defined, animal-component free medium developed for the long-term growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. The absence of any large macromolecules allows for isolation and purification of secreted proteins from the cells. This medium is supplied without L-glutamine to aid in media stability, to avoid L-glutamine degradation that causes ammonia build-up, and to provide an appropriate medium for the culture of CHO cells using the Glutamine Synthetase, or GS System™. This medium does not contain hypoxanthine or thymidine to allow for its use with dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene amplification systems.

Quantity

Formulated to contain 20.1 grams of powder per liter of medium.
