Gibco™ CD OptiCHO™ AGT™ Medium

Description

CD OptiCHO™ medium is specifically designed to offer high performance and yield with recombinant CHO cells in a chemically defined fed-batch environment. The protein-free, animal origin free formulation is designed to provide consistency and reduces the need to screen for adventitious agents. CD OptiCHO™ medium builds on Gibco™ CD CHO’s legacy of consistent cell growth and titers, while offering up to 40% better titer and cell growth over select competitors. Thanks to its low osmolality and advanced CHO CD EfficientFeed™ Liquid Nutrient Supplement Kit feeding options, CD OptiCHO™ medium is capable of gaining 2-5 fold increases in fed-batch productivity over batch culture.

When to Use CD OptiCHO™ Medium

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

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 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-)

Liquid Media Formulations
Gibco™ AGT™ media are also available in a liquid format that offers the same performance and formulation as the AGT™ media format. Gibco™ liquid media are manufactured animal origin-free with the same complete, serum-free, protein-free, chemically-defined formulation and performance as their AGT™ media counterparts.
