FastGro allows culturing cells in vitro without the use of serum and without any animal or human derived compound. FastGro is a fully defined additive, avoiding the need for serum, and used for a wide range of cell culture practices. Since FastGro is chemically defined, it avoids lot-to-lot variations. All components in FastGro are highly purified and identified chemical compounds.
Culturing cells in a FastGro enriched medium provides a number of benefits as compared to conventional FBS enriched media.
- Minimal lot-to-lot variations due to its chemically defined nature. This omits the need for testing new batches of serum.
- No interference from unknown serum compounds.
- Less bias in research data due to lack of hormones and cytokines.
- Safe to use due to a lack of animal or human derived materials.
- No need for thawing before use - refrigerated storage.
FastGro is easy to use:
Just add FastGro to your culture medium as you would for FBS (usually 10%). To shift from FBS containing media to FastGro containing medium, we advise to follow the step-by-step weaning of the cells.
Examples of cells which have successfully been cultured on FastGro enriched medium:
- Liver epithelial cells
- HaCaT
- Primary human hepatocytes
- Hybridoma
- VERO
- HEK293
- CHO
- HEP G2
- HeLa
- Human keratinocytes
