Serum-free powdered media

Serum-free powdered media contain no animal-derived components and are intended for preparation of standardized media in the required volume. They are widely used in biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications where purity, consistency and reproducibility are critical. Formulations contain a balanced combination of salts, amino acids, vitamins, carbohydrates and buffering systems. Some are adapted for specific cell lines, such as CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, and may include synthetic growth factor analogues. Packs are designed to prepare 2 to 50 litres of medium.
