ProCHO™ Protein-free CHO Media were developed specifically to facilitate the production and downstream processing of recombinant proteins expressed in CHO cells. These protein-free formulations support high-density cultures without the need for animal derived components.
Very low levels of recombinant insulin facilitate both downstream purification and regulatory compliance.

The following media systems are available:
- ProCHO™ 4 Medium – For concurrent transition of adherent CHO cells to serum-free and suspension culture; supports faster doubling times
- ProCHO™ 5 Medium – For CHO cells already growing in suspension; supports increased protein production

Storage = 2°C to 8°C

PowerCHO™ Chemically Defined, Serum-free and hydrolysate-free CHO Media are non-animal origin media designed to support the growth of CHO cell lines, particularly high-density suspension cultures.

For therapeutic bioprocessing applications, these protein-free formulations also facilitate both downstream purification and regulatory compliance.

ProFreeze™-CDM, NAO, Chemically Defined Freeze Medium (2X) is universally suitable for cryopreserving many cell types in the absence of fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is particularly advantageous for freezing of cells cultured in a serum-free and animal component-free environment.
This protein-free freezing medium contains no animal derived components, insulin, or hydrolysate, and maintains high cell viability upon recovery from frozen storage.

ProFreeze™ Medium requires the addition of 15% reagent or spectrophotometric grade dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at time of use.

Storage = 2°C to 8°C

eCHO™ Basal Medium and Feed is a chemically defined, hydrolysate-free, serum-free, and non-animal origin medium for supporting high-density CHO cells in suspension.

Improved cell growth and protein yield are achieved when adding the eCHO™ Feed. The eCHO™ Medium is compatible with batch and fed-batch culture.
eCHO™ Medium is available in powder and liquid formats. The powder consists of only one component for the eCHO™ Basal Medium and one for the eCHO™ Feed for minimal preparation time.
