Zap-CHO (www.ZapCHO.com)

Zap-CHO is a defined and animal free CHO (Chinese hamster ovaries) cell culture supplement capable of replacing fetal bovine serum (FBS) while still maintaining maximum cell performance. Zap-CHO is also an alternative to using hydrolysates in cell culture media optimization because it is a well-defined supplement which reduces variability and production failures. Zap-CHO is ideal for use with commercial, chemically-defined and serum- and animal free cell culture media formulations.

Optiferrin (www.Optiferrin.com)

Optiferrin is a cell culture media supplement which supports cell growth by regulating the amount of iron transported to the cell. Since iron is required for healthy cell culture performance, it is a critical component to reach optimal performance. InVitria’s Optiferrin is animal free, so it is a safe and effective alternative to using iron chelators and elemental iron in media formulations. InVitria customers have utilized Optiferrin to provide the essential amount of iron for optimal results.

    Cell Culture Media supplement Blog Strategies for Improving Viral Yield in Vaccine Manufacturing

    A recent article in Pharma Times titled "US biopharma: nearly 300 vaccines in R&D," points out that there are currently 300 vaccines either in clinical studies or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While not all vaccines are cell culture derived vaccines, it does indicate that a large number of cell culture based viral vaccines are in the pipeline and that perhaps viral vaccine manufacturing should be examined. One area under consideration is how to improve viral yield so that vaccines can be made at lower cost ... Read More
