Serum-free culture mediumReduced Serum DMEM/Ham's F-12 Medium
In comparison to DMEM / Ham's F-12 medium, this product allows for cell cultivation with reduced serum supplementation, without affecting cell proliferation rate or morphology.
Features
- Cultivable under low-serum conditions
- Suitable as a basal medium for serum-free cultivation
- Reduce costs associated with serum usage
- Minimize variations between batches, reducing serum-related effects
Comparison
Comparison of cell proliferation rate and cell morphology
HEK 293 and CHO cells were cultured using both this product and Company A's serum-reduced medium. Similar to the medium from Company A, our product demonstrated that cultivation under low-serum conditions is feasible without affecting either cell proliferation rate or morphology。

Application
Cultivation of Colorectal Cancer Patient-Derived Organoids (Under Serum-Free Conditions)
We prepared droplets (n=4) embedding dispersed colon cancer patient-derived organoid cells using Corning® Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix Growth Factor Reduced and TrypLE Express. Then, 1 mL of medium* was added on top, and the cultures were incubated.
*2 mM L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine was added to both of this product and Company A’s product.
Visual assessment of proliferation did not reveal significant differences between the two conditions
