CD FortiCHO™ Medium (Gibco™)

Le milieu de culture CD FortiCHO™ est spécifiquement conçu pour offrir la meilleure des performances de culture par lot et par lot nourricier et le meilleur rendement avec des cellules CHO recombinantes dans un environnement chimiquement défini. La formulation exempte de protéines et exempte de composants d’origine animale garantit la constance et contribue à réduire le besoin en analyse d’agents fortuits. Avec le milieu CD FortiCHO™, les cultures cellulaires durent plus de 2 jours de plus que les alternatives de la concurrence, ce qui signifie une baisse de la concentration des HCP (protéines hôtes) pour l’élimination dans la purification en aval.

Le milieu de culture CD FortiCHO™ est fortifié pour prendre en charge une croissance des cellules CHO recombinantes et une expression des protéines maximales dans les cultures par lot en suspension, offrant 120 % de plus de croissance et de production que certains milieux de la concurrence avec une simple supplémentation en glucose. Le milieu de culture CD FortiCHO™ peut fournir jusqu’à 75 % de croissance et de production de lots nourriciers en plus par rapport à la culture de lots nourriciers au glucose uniquement pour certaines lignées cellulaires et applications lorsqu’il est utilisé avec le supplément nutriant CD EfficientFeed™.

• Optimization of feeding strategies will be part of your base medium selection testing in an effort to maximize productivity
• Your CHO cell line is “finicky," i.e. hard to grow or adapt

Consider CD CHO medium when:
• Your GS CHO cells are recommended to be grown in CD CHO medium
• Your cells have been successfully cultured in CD CHO medium in the past and your process is nearing a regulatory filing (DMF available)

CD CHO AGT™ Medium (Gibco™)

CD CHO AGT™ (Advanced Granulation Technology) medium is a protein-free, chemically-defined medium optimized for the growth of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and expression of recombinant proteins in suspension culture. The AGT™ dry media format is designed to provide increased consistency and productivity across all stages of production from development to commercial manufacturing. CD CHO AGT™ medium contains no proteins or peptide components of animal, plant, or synthetic origin, as well as no undefined lysates or hydrolysates.

When to Use CD CHO Medium
• Your GS CHO cells are recommended to be grown in CD CHO medium
• Your cells have been successfully cultured in CD CHO medium in the past and your process is nearing a regulatory filing (DMF available)

When to Consider Another Gibco® Medium

Consider CD FortiCHO™ medium when:
• The cell line you are using is a transfected CHO K1, GS CHO or CHO-S™ cell line
• Maximum batch culture cell densities and protein titers are needed
• You have time to adapt cells into a new medium in an effort to maximize titers
• Cell health at harvest is a priority for downstream processing

Consider CD OptiCHO™ medium when:
• You are using a transfected CHO cell line other than CHO K1, GS CHO or CHO-S™ cell lines
• Optimization of feeding strategies will be part of your base medium selection testing in an effort to maximize productivity
• Your CHO cell line is “finicky," i.e. hard to grow or adapt

Consider CD DG44 medium when:
• You use parental DG44 or DXB11 CHO cells (dhfr-)

Liquid Media Formulations
Gibco® AGT™ media are also available in a liquid format that offers the same performance and formulation as the AGT™ media format. Gibco® liquid media are manufactured animal origin-free with the same complete, serum-free, protein-free, chemically-defined formulation and performance as their AGT™ media counterparts.
