Product performance is measured by harvest to plant ratios or fold increase according to predetermined specifications. Physiochemical Properties Liquid and powder products undergo testing to determine pH and osmolality. Powders are also tested for residual moisture. The pH and osmolality tests are performed according to specific protocols in which all equipment is calibrated using standards which are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Biological Tests Testing of cellgro products guarantee low levels of endotoxin, mycoplasma and an absense of contamination. Endotoxin: Media are tested for bacterial endotoxin using the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) Chromogenic Assay. For product release, each lot of standard liquid media must have an endotoxin level of < 0.25 EU/mL. Powder products must have an endotoxin level of < 0.25 EU/mL when reconstituted to formula weight with low-endotoxin water. Sterility: All cellgro products are sterility tested. Mycoplasma: Media products are tested for mycoplasma offsite using a large-volume method described by Kern and Barile in “Isolation of Mycoplasmas from Cell Culture by Agar and Broth Techniques,” M.F. Barile and G.J. McGarrity (1983) in Methods of Mycoplasmology, Vol. 11,5. Razin and J.G.

Biological Tests Corning cellgro prides itself on the ability to guarantee low levels of endotoxin, the absence of mycoplasma, and an absence of contamination. Endotoxin: Buffered salt solutions are tested for bacterial endotoxin using the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) Assay, following guidelines outlined by the manufacturer and the FDA (1987). For release, each lot of buffered salt solutions must have an endotoxin level of ≤ 0.25 EU/mL. The majority of Corning cellgro’s liquid media are at or below our lowest detectable level today (≤ 0.001 EU/mL). Powder products must have an endotoxin level of ≤ 0.25 EU/mL when reconstituted to formula weight with low-endotoxin water. Sterility: Corning cellgro selects a number of samples from each production lot to test using the membrane filtration technique for 14 days, in accordance with USP XXIV Chapters <71> and <1211>. Mycoplasma: Buffered salt solution products are tested for mycoplasma off-site using large-volume method described by Kern and Barile in “Isolation of Mycoplasmas from Cell Culture by Agar and Broth Techniques,” M.F. Barile and G.J. McGarrity (1983) in Methods of Mycoplasmology, Vol. 11,5. Razin and J.G. Tulley, eds., New York: Academic Press, 159-165. Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) is a buffer solution which can be used to maintain cell culture media in the physiological pH range of 7.0 to 7.6. It can serve as an irrigating, transporting or diluting fluid while maintaining cell tonicity and viability for a limited period of time. 24 45000-428 45000-432 45000-430 Contains 45000-426 Calcium ¢ ¢ Magnesium ¢ ¢ Potassium Chloride ¢ ¢ ¢ 45000-436 45000-434 45000-440 45000-438 ¢ Visit www.vwr.com for additional product and technical information. 45000-448 45000-446 45001-064 45000-442 ¢ ¢ B U F F E R E D S A LT S O L U T I O N S Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline, 10x With calcium and magnesium VWR Cat.

Researchers using very sensitive tet-inducible gene expression systems encounter problems with unintended expression as a result of the presence of tetracycline in serum. In these cases, serum containing minimal levels of tetracycline can help ensure accurate gene expression. The tetracycline test is preformed either with the ELISA method or bioassay methodology techniques. The limit of detection is approximately 0.1 µg/ml. Used in cell culture applications using tet-inducible gene expression systems, any other application in which the presence of tetracycline would prove disruptive.

These require nutrients, supplements, buffers and other reagents specific to the product being grown to maximize results and consistency. There are two major types of growth media: those used for cell culture, which use specific cell types derived from plants or animals, and microbiological culture, which are used for growing microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast. Cell Culture Reagents The most common growth media for microorganisms are nutrient broths and agar plates; specialized media are sometimes required for microorganism and cell culture growth. Some organisms, termed fastidious organisms, require specialized environments due to complex nutritional requirements. Viruses, for example, are obligate intracellularparasites and require a growth medium composed of living cells. 50 Visit www.vwr.com for additional product and technical information. C E L L C U LT U R E R E A G E N T S Amino Acids and Vitamins L-glutamine L-glutamine is an essential amino acid and a key component of culture media, serving as a major energy source for propagating cells. It is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution but degrades rapidly in liquid media or stock solutions, producing compounds toxic to cells. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with Lglutamine prior to use. This formulation is prepared in cell culture grade water.

INSECT MEDIA AND REAGENTS insectagro™ Serum-Free Media Insect cell culture has become an increasingly important tool in biotechnology for the production of biologicals. The inherent growth characteristics of the insect cells make them ideal candidates for Baculovirus Expression Vector Systems (BEVS) for the production of recombinant genes becasue they provide advantages over both bacterial and mammalian cultures, due to their fast doubling times and ability to grow in suspension. Insect cells have significantly impacted protein production through the use of large-scale bioreactors to produce recombinant proteins and products of medical and agricultural importance with high expression levels via BEVS. Conventional insect culture media rely heavily on animal sera and other components such as yeast hydrolysate, lactalbumin hydrolysate, tryptose phosphate broth, and hemolymph as the nutritional, chemical, and physiological support systems. However, the production of purified recombinant protein has created a demand for media capable of supporting growth without relying on these additives. Serum-free growth media poses numerous advantages over the use of serum, including: Reduced foaming in most bioreactors Elimination of exogenous agents Easier downstream processing Support of high cell yields insectagro DS2™ Serum-Free/Protein-Free Medium, 1x insectagro DS2 Serum-Free/Protein-Free Medium was developed for the growth and maintenance of Drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells to be used in heterologous protein expression. At the optimal temperature range 22-24°C, DS2 cells grow as a loose monolayer and are readily adaptable to growth in suspension. Under these conditions, the cells require minimal adaptation to serum-free culture. Without L-glutamine Intended Use: Research Use Only, Not for IVD Use Corning Cat.
