Feed Kit C+ Gibco™
The Feed Kit C+ provides two chemically defined supplements, GlygcanTune™ C+ Total Feed and EfficientFeed™ C+ Supplement, along with fed-batch supplementation strategies designed to optimize cell growth and protein production while offering the ability to target and fine tune glycosylation profiles. GlycanTune C+ Total Feed is based on the chemically-defined EfficientFeed C+ Supplement and is specifically designed for fed-batch cultures of multiple cell lines. When used alone or with EfficientFeed+ supplement, this single-part total feeding supplement can shift glycan profiles from heavily G0F to mostly G1F and G2F glycans. GlycanTune C+ Total Feed provides an easy-to-reconstitute, pH-neutral solution that can be super-concentrated for delivery of key nutrients at smaller volumes.
Dialing in a glycan profile
The manual included in the kit (and downloadable below) provides complete protocols for testing GlycanTune C+ Total Feed with EfficientFeed C+ Supplement or another feed to obtain a set of conditions similar to those shown in the charts below. The first chart depicts protocol conditions for establishing a glycan shift pattern and the second shows typical results from a shifting experiment to help you hone in on the best feeding strategy to achieve a desired galactosylation profile.
Simplified handling to reduce risk in scale-up
The ability to scale up using AGT dry format provides easier handling and storage in manufacturing and other bioprocess settings. Fewer parts and reconstitution steps mean fewer opportunities for operator error. Further, the ability to store this feed, even when super-concentrated, for the length of a bioreactor run at room temperature in the dark may lessen the chance of contamination by reducing the number of connections to the bioreactor to one or two. Customization of other feeding formulations is possible should that option suit your needs better after trying this kit. Contact your local Field Application Scientist through your Account Manager to learn more about our customization capabilities.

Antibiotic-Antimycotic (100X) Gibco™
Gibco® Antibiotic-Antimycotic is used to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination. This solution contains 10,000 units/mL of penicillin, 10,000 µg/mL of streptomycin, and 25 µg/mL of Gibco Amphotericin B. The antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin prevent bacterial contamination of cell cultures due to their effective combined action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Amphotericin B prevents fungal contamination of cell cultures due to its inhibition of multi-cellular fungus and yeast.
Penicillin was originally purified from the fungus Penicillium and acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacteria cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall. Streptomycin was originally purified from Streptomyces griseus. It acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and death in susceptible bacteria. Amphotericin B is an antifungal agent that prevents the growth of fungi and yeast by causing an increase in fungal plasma membrane permeability.

Escherichia coli (K-12 strain) BioParticles™, Alexa Fluor™ 594 conjugate Invitrogen™
The Molecular Probes® BioParticles® product line consists of a series of fluorescently labeled, heat- or chemically killed bacteria and yeast in a variety of sizes, shapes, and natural antigenicities. These fluorescent BioParticles® products have been employed to study phagocytosis by fluorescence microscopy, quantitative spectrofluorometry, and flow cytometry.
We offer E. coli (K-12 strain), S. aureus (Wood strain, without protein A) and zymosan (S. cerevisiae) BioParticles® conjugates covalently labeled with a variety of different fluorophores (special care has been taken to remove free dye after conjugation). Unlike the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled BioParticles® conjugates, which is partially quenched in acidic environments, the fluorescence of the Alexa Fluor®, BODIPY® FL, tetramethylrhodamine and Texas Red® dye conjugates is uniformly intense over the pH range from 3 to 10.
BioParticles Specifications:
• Label (Ex/Em): Alexa Fluor® 594 (~590/617 nm)
• Particle: E. coli (K-12 strain)
• Opsonizing reagent available
Using BioParticles Products
BioParticles® conjugates are provided as lyophilized powders. There are approximately 3 x 108 E. coli or S. aureus particles per mg solid and approximately 2 x 107 zymosan particles per mg solid. BioParticles® conjugates can be reconstituted in the buffer of your choice for use in phagocytosis assays. The fluorescence of BioParticles® conjugates that are bound to the surface of the cell (but not internalized) can be quenched by ethidium bromide, trypan blue, or other quenchers. In addition to cellular applications, fluorescent BioParticles® conjugates may be effective as flow cytometry calibration references when sorting bacteria and yeast mutants. These small particles may also be useful references for light scattering studies because their sizes and shapes differ in characteristic ways.
