Gibco™ Cholesterol Lipid Concentrate (250X) is a chemically defined, protein-free supplement designed to support the growth and productivity of cholesterol-dependent cell lines, including NS0, CHO, and other mammalian or insect cell cultures. This sterile, ready-to-use solution enhances cell viability and protein expression in serum-free and chemically defined media—without introducing complex components that interfere with downstream purification.
Formulated to be easily added to basal media such as Gibco™ CD Hybridoma Medium, this concentrate supports high-density growth, particularly for NS0 hybridoma cells, and maintains lipid bioavailability through filtration with minimal lipid loss.
Key Features
- 250X Concentration: Highly concentrated formulation minimizes volume needed in culture systems.
- Chemically Defined & Protein-Free: Ensures consistency and eliminates animal-derived variability.
- Enhances Lipid-Dependent Growth: Ideal for NS0 and similar cholesterol-requiring lines.
- Filtration-Friendly: Can be sterile-filtered with negligible lipid loss, ensuring aseptic workflows.
- Compatible with Serum-Free Media: Enhances productivity in chemically defined media platforms.
Applications
-
Support of Cholesterol-Dependent Cell Lines:
- NS0 and other hybridomas requiring exogenous cholesterol.
-
Recombinant Protein Production:
- Enables high-yield expression in serum-free culture systems.
-
Custom Media Optimization:
- Can be integrated into feeding strategies or customized formulations via Gibco™ Custom Products Services.
-
Hybridoma and Myeloma Antibody Production:
- Enhances growth in chemically defined antibody production systems.
