EfficientFeed™ B+ AGT™ Supplement Gibco™
Gibco® EfficientFeed™ B+ (Plus) AGT™ Supplement is a dry-format, single-part supplement for fed batch addition to the culture of multiple cell lines to assist with process development and maximization of bioreactor utilization. Compared to original CHO CD EfficientFeed™ B AGT™ nutrient supplement, EfficientFeed™ B+ supplement has components that are uniquely combined to allow simpler single-part pH-neutral reconstitution, as well as the ability to super-concentrate the supplement from 52.7 g/L (1X) to 158.1g/L (3X) for reduction of product dilution or increased titers with additional feeding, when appropriate. The product is an animal origin-free, chemically defined formulation that contains no proteins, hydrolysates, or components of incompletely defined composition.
Which EfficientFeed™ + Supplement to Choose?
Consider EfficientFeed™ B+ AGT™ Supplement when:
• You have used CHO CD EfficientFeed™ B supplement in the past and wish to explore simpler reconstitution and super-concentration benefits of new technology for delivery of key components
• You are currently using CD CHO as your base cell growth medium
Consider EfficientFeed™ A+ AGT™ Supplement when:
• You have used CHO CD EfficientFeed™ A supplement in the past and wish to explore simpler reconstitution and super-concentration benefits of new technology for delivery of key components
• You are currently using CD OptiCHO™ as your base cell growth medium
Consider EfficientFeed™ C+ AGT™ Supplement when:
• You have used CD EfficientFeed™ C supplement in the past and wish to explore simpler reconstitution and super-concentration benefits of new technology for delivery of key components
• You want higher productivity in GS CHO, CHO-K1, & CHO-S® derived cell lines
• You are currently using CD FortiCHO™ as your base cell growth medium
• You are using a base medium with greater than 6 g/L glucose or a hydrolysate at day 0
Increasing Titers
As a complete feed, EfficientFeed™ + supplements have been shown to provide multiple-fold increases in titers at 1X concentration versus batch culture, and are an excellent starting point for process development. Flexibility to further increase titers are enhanced with the ability to super-concentrate the product by reconstituting with less water to deliver up to 158 g/L of fed nutrients (see figure).
Maximizing Bioreactor Utilization
Have you ever wished you could have more working volume at the start of a bioreactor run to get more protein produced, but needed too much feeding volume space to accomplish your optimal goal? Have you ever thought that room for a little more feeding might get you to a new level of titer from a process and maybe even reduce the number of bioreactor runs that might be needed per year? In either of these cases, it is important to have the flexibility to super-concentrate your feeding supplements so you get less product dilution, more space for an additional feeding, and/or more working volume to start your run (see figure). In fact, you may gain about 20% more bioreactor utilization by exploring the unique ability to super-concentrate this EfficientFeed B+ product.
Simplified Handling to Reduce Risk in Scale-Up
The ability to scale up in an AGT™ dry format provides ease of handling and storage in manufacturing and other bioprocess settings. Fewer parts and steps in reconstitution mean fewer opportunities for operator error. Further, ability to store this feed, even when super-concentrated, for the length of a bioreactor run at room temperature, in the dark, may allow you fewer chances of contamination during closed system connections by reducing the number of connections to the bioreactor to one.

Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium (SRM) Gibco™
The Gibco Diploid Serum-Reduced Medium (SRM) system is designed to support vaccine manufacture under serum-reduced or serum-free conditions for cell types traditionally cultured in classical media with 10% serum. With this system, human diploid cells, such as MRC-5, Wi38, and KMB17, can be grown with just 1–2% serum. Additionally, it supports growth of chicken embryo fibroblasts under serum-free conditions. Virus production can then be conducted under serum-free conditions without the addition of albumin or other supplements.
The Diploid SRM system is composed of two different kits:
1. Diploid Growth Serum-Reduced Medium (SRM) kit (this page): A basal medium and 100X growth supplement designed for cell expansion
2. Diploid Production Serum-Free Medium (SFM) kit: A basal medium and 100X production supplement designed for virus production
Human cells have traditionally been used to manufacture a variety of vaccines, such as the varicella zoster, polio, smallpox, hepatitis A, measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Traditionally, the only way to culture these cells has been to use classical media with 10% serum for growth and 1–5% human albumin (human sourced or recombinant) for virus production. These are two of the highest cost components in vaccine production. The Diploid SRM system helps reduce or eliminate both components while maintaining high virus titers.
Cost savings
Reduction or elimination of serum can significantly reduce cost for a vaccine manufacturing process. Premium FBS is expensive with high price volatility. Given the typical cost pressures on vaccine production, both economic drivers make vaccine manufacturing to a target price extremely challenging. Diploid Growth SRM reduces the impact of this volatility in price and offers a level of cost consistency not available with processes that use serum in high volumes.
In addition, serum requires frozen storage. A 10% serum concentration in growth media can result in high frozen storage requirements for a vaccine process. A process requiring 1,000 L of growth medium would require the frozen storage of 100 L of serum. The Diploid Growth SRM kit comes with a 100X frozen supplement, enabling an 80% reduction in frozen storage requirements. 1,000 L of Diploid Growth SRM would only need 20 L of frozen storage: 10 L for FBS and 10 L for the 100X supplement.
Albumin is commonly added to virus production media. With the Diploid Production SFM, viruses can be produced at comparable titers without any additional supplementation.
No adaptation required
The Diploid SRM system was developed with existing cell banks in mind. Transitioning a vaccine process to a new medium can be challenging due to the need to adapt the cells to the new medium. For human cells such as MRC-5, there is the added risk of reaching the Hayflick limit due to the added passages necessary during cell adaptation and subsequent re-banking of the cells. The transition to the Diploid SRM system does not require adaptation or re-banking of cells when using the Diploid Growth SRM kit. Existing cGMP cells banked with serum may be thawed directly in Diploid Growth SRM supplemented with 1% FBS, allowing a simple transition to this medium.
Mitigate serum supply risk
Obtaining a steady supply of serum can be challenging, especially if the serum required is from a BSE/TSE safe region such as New Zealand or Australia. Serum supply can fluctuate based on several environmental (drought, cattle disease) and economic (feed cost, dairy pricing) factors. With Diploid Growth SRM this dependence is substantially reduced due to the reduced serum requirements.

When to use CHO-S-SFM II Medium
• Your cells have been successfully cultured in CHO-S-SFM II 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 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)
Consider CD DG44 medium when:
• You use parental DG44 or DXB11 CHO cells (dhfr-)
