Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM

Description
OptiPRO™ SFM is a serum-free, animal origin-free culture medium designed for growth of several kidney-derived cell lines including MDBK, MDCK, PK-15 and VERO for virus or recombinant protein production. In addition, OptiPRO™ SFM has successfully grown other cell lines, such as Hela, BHK-21 and COS-7. Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM features:
- Serum-free, animal origin-free, low protein formulation
- Direct adaptation for many popular cell lines
Serum-free, animal origin-free, low protein formulation
Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM is formulated with a very low protein concentration (< 10 μg/mL), allowing for easier purification of your recombinant protein.
Direct adaptation for many popular cell lines
Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM has been designed for growth of kidney-derived cell lines such as MDCK, MDBK, VERO and PK-15. In addition, OptiPRO™ SFM has successfully grown other cell lines, such as Hela, BHK-21 and COS-7, allowing you to choose a single medium for multiple cell lines.
cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility located in Grand Island, New York. The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to ISO 13485 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For virus titering in OptiPRO SFM we recommend using Falcon or equivalent 96-well plates and plating cells at a concentration of 1 X 10^6/mL. If you are having trouble growing cells for virus titration in OptiPRO SFM in the 96-well plates, we suggest switching to the EMEM with 5%FBS or DMEM with 5% FBS.
The sequential adaptation process is a multi-subculture of cells. We recommend the following passaging sequence:
• First passage: use 25% OptiPRO SFM:75% original stock medium
• Second passage: use 50% OptiPRO SFM:50% original stock medium
• Third passage: use 75% OptiPRO SFM:25% original stock medium
• Fourth and subsequent passages: use 100% OptiPRO SFM
You can supplement OptiPRO SFM with 5mL/L Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Cat. No. 15240096)
We recommend adding L-glutamine or GlutaMAX-I to OptiPRO SFM at a final concentration of 4mM.
