Cell Culture Products

Supporting cell growth across many stages

Whether developing a process for a specific biologic or advanced therapy, or scaling your workflow, Gibco cell culture solutions have helped advance productivity and consistent results across bioprocessing for more than 60 years. Designed to support reliable performance from early development through commercial manufacturing, our portfolio of cell culture media, supplements, and reagents helps scale processes efficiently while maintaining consistency across applications.
 

Cell culture product portfolio to scale processes

Cell culture media

Drive consistency and performance with Gibco cell culture media, available in liquid, dry powder, and Advanced Granulation Technology (AGT) formats. These options offer flexibility in scale and packaging, maintaining performance across applications.
 

Stable cell line development kits

Help simplify your path from transient to stable production. Take the lead in cell line development with the Gibco CHOvantage GS cell line development kit, designed to achieve high-titer and consistent protein quality efficiently.

 

Cell culture sera

Help enhance cell culture performance and reduce risk with Gibco sera, sourced from regions with minimal BSE risk and processed under CGMP-compliant conditions. Benefit from our sera, offering traceability and customization options.  

 

Feeds and Supplements

Help maximize cell culture performance with Gibco feeds and supplements that support cell growth and productivity in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and other cell lines. Options such as EfficientFeed+, GlycanTune, and AGT granular dry formats allow flexibility and preparation efficiency in workflows.

 

Functional additives and reagents

Help accelerate bioprocessing workflow with additives and reagents to facilitate process development with reliable performance. From animal origin-free (AOF) formulations to enhancers and reagents, these products are designed to improve flexibility and reproducibility in cell culture workflows.

 

Gibco Peptones

Help boost productivity and stability with Gibco peptones, available in animal origin (AO) and animal origin-free formulations. These peptones were developed to enrich cell culture media, supporting cell protection and performance in vaccine, recombinant protein, and microbial applications.

Supporting diverse modalities and applications

ADCs

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development benefits from cell culture media and MAbPac hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) columns to ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems and Orbitrap mass spectrometry, supporting efficient analysis and characterization.

 

Cell therapy

Cell therapy workflows require solutions for cell isolation, activation, and expansion. Thermo Fisher Scientific supports these applications with a closed and automated system, CTS DynaCellect Magnetic Separation System, and related products like OpTmizer serum-free media and CTS Dynabeads products.

 

Gene therapy

Gene therapy workflows rely on scalable solutions to produce viral vectors and plasmids. Gibco media, including Bacto CD Supreme Fermentation Production Medium, are applied from early development through commercial manufacturing to help maintain consistency and efficiency.

 

mAbs

Efficient monoclonal antibody (mAb) production depends on scalable tools for cell line development, upstream optimization, and CGMP purification. Media, feeds, and chromatography solutions work together to help streamline process development and maintain consistency across mAb variants.

 

mRNA

mRNA therapeutics are produced from plasmid DNA through in vitro transcription, purification, and formulation. Thermo Fisher Scientific enables these processes with Gibco media, process liquids, and single-use containment systems from development through commercial manufacturing.

 

Vaccines

Reliable vaccine production depends on consistent performance in cell culture, purification, and testing. Gibco serum-free media and peptones, along with POROS and CaptureSelect resins, support development and scalable vaccine manufacturing.
