CHO Chemically Defined Media
Suspension Culture (Expression & Production)
CH400AZ medium (CD medium), liquid or powder
For CHO cells "CHO-K1, CHO-S, DG44, DXB11, etc."
*A ready-to-use product that contains L-alanyl-L-glutamine.

CH400AZ medium is a chemically defined medium / serum-free medium optimized for the high production of recombinant proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, such as CHO-K1, CHO-S, DG44, and DXB11 cells. The medium contains no proteins, hydrolysates, or human/animal-derived components. All components have a known chemical structure.



Suspension CHO-K1 cells were cultured with disposable Erlenmeyer flasks under the following conditions.
CH400/CH400AZ medium leads to the high performance similar to Thermo CD OptiCHO medium in cell growth for CHO-K1 cells.
< Culture conditions >
(1) Seeding cell density:2 x 10e5 cells/mL.
(2) Shaker culture:125 rpm, 37℃, 8% CO2.
(3) Culture volume:30 mL with L-alanyl-L-glutamine.

Suspension CHO-S cells were cultured with disposable Erlenmeyer flasks under the following conditions.
CH400/CH400AZ medium leads to the high performance similar to Thermo CD OptiCHO medium in cell growth for CHO-S cells.
< Culture conditions >
(1) Seeding cell density:2 x 10e5 cells/mL.
(2) Shaker culture:125 rpm, 37℃, 8% CO2.
(3) Culture volume:30 mL with L-alanyl-L-glutamine.

CH400/CH400AZ medium exhibits the higher performance in gene expression compared to other company medium without inhibiting the transfection assay.
< Culture conditions >
(1) Seeding cell density:6 x 10e6 cells/mL, >95% viability.
(2) Shaker culture:125 rpm, 37℃, 5% CO2.
(3) Transfection reagent:Gxpress CHO TF Reagent (GMEP Inc.).
