Lonza, 12-730Q, Insect-XPRESS™ Protein-free Insect Cell Medium

Product Overview Insect-XPRESS TM Medium is a protein-free formulation designed to support the growth of insect cell lines derived from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9 and Sf21) and Drosophila melanogaster (S2). Cell densities in excess of 8.3 × 10 6 cells/ml can be achieved with suspension cultures of Sf9 cells using Insect-XPRESS TM Medium and an excess of oxygen. This formulation can also be used for stationary monolayer cultures and shake-flask cultures. Insect-XPRESS TM Medium contains L-glutamine and supports superior production of recombinant proteins when using the Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS). For cryopreservation of insect cells, Insect-XPRESS TM can be mixed 50:50 with Cryoprotective Medium (Cat. No. 12-769E). All BioWhittaker® Cell Culture Media products are for Research Use Only (RUO) and are not approved for human or veterinary use or for use in clinical or in vitro diagnostic procedures.
