Application

A serum replacement for general cell growth and maintenance.May be used in the preparation of low protein medium. In many instances the level of serum can be reduced by 50-75% in cultures containing 10% medium supplement. The low protein content (﹤150 µg/ml) also makes the product suitable for use in preparing low protein serum-free medium. Serum-free medium can be prepared by adding the medium supplement to a final concentration of 10% to an appropriate cell culture medium. The final protein content of the medium will be dependent upon the level of proteins (if any) present in the basal medium. In many instances the adaptation of cells to growth in serum-free medium may be required. Also recommended for use with serum to improve cell growth and maintenance.
