Media

Product:  Enhanced Cell Culture Media

These media are substantially equivalent to Sigma's Megacell™ media and Gibco's advanced media formulations. The CELL-MATES™ line of commonly used cell culture media was developed to reduce FBS or other sera supplementation by as much as 90% and at a cost relative to using less FBS...not at a higher cost because of the nifty idea. The following classic media have been enriched with a defined regiment of growth enhancing proteins, supplements, and other natural growth factors to reduce your dependence on serum, reduce your costs, and provide a more consistent and defined cell culture environment.

Product:  Serum-Free and Protein-Free Media

The following CELL-MATES™ were developed for Hybridoma and CHO cell growth and protein expression. HYBRI-MATE™ and CHO-MATE™ are available in a defined serum-free format, a protein-free format and an animal component-free format. The latter two are particularly important for those who are concerned with the negative effects of serum protein from regulatory and long-term safety concerns. All media were developed using proprietary liposome technology to deliver essential fatty acids and the Super Anti-Oxidant System (SAOS) to minimize cell induced apoptosis caused through normal oxidative metabolic function and oxidative damage caused by other means such as light and temperature. These media require some adaptation effort to ensure the most viable cell population is selected for long-term cell culture studies or the continuous production of desired cell derived proteins.
