Cellvento^® CHO-210

Cellvento^® CHO-210 medium has been specially developed for the growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells and the expression of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins in suspension culture for use in fed-batch manufacturing processes. The formulation is of non-animal origin, chemically defined and contains no hydrolysates or components of unknown composition. Cellvento^® CHO-210 medium has been formulated without L-glutamine, hypoxanthine, thymidine, or thymidine, to keep flexibility in applications. It is available in dry powder from or as ready-to-use medium to fit to different experimental set-ups.

Cellvento^® CHO-210 medium has been designed to support optimal cell growth and performance of DHFR-negative CHO suspension cell types, primarily recombinant CHO-DG44 cell lines, but may be suitable for use with other CHO cell lines. It should be used as a production medium starting with the final N-1 expansion step in fed-batch applications, and then together with its companion feed product Cellvento^® Feed-210 during the final production culture. This product is intended for research or further manufacturing but not for human or therapeutic use.

Formulated to contain 23.13 grams of powder per liter of medium.
