Serum-free cell culture: Biochrom AG products
Overview on serum-free media, supplements and enzymes
Biochrom AG offers serum-free media for the cultivation of, inter alia, hybridoma, CHO,
ceratinocytes, or insect cells. Serum-free media can be used to establish monitorable and
reproducible cultivation conditions.
In order to ensure serum-free work, supplements and
growth factors need to be added to the media.
Animal-free enzymes are needed for the detachment
of adherent cells. All serum-free cell culture products
can be found in our overview.
Serum-free cell freezing with Biofreeze
Biofreeze is a serum- and DMSO-free freezing
medium for the cryopreservation of cell cultures in
liquid nitrogen. It is suitable for freezing a wide range
of cell lines. Biofreeze has no cytotoxic effect and
may be used within the framework of all traditional
freezing methods.
Serum-free transport and cold storage of
cells with ChillProtec?
Adherent cells, cell suspensions or small tissue
pieces are able to remain intact after cold storage
when kept in the new medium Chillprotec. The
protective medium reduces cell damage caused by
cold. Primary human hepatocytes, for example,
remained intact at 2-8 °C for several days.
