CD OptiCHO™ medium is specifically designed to offer high performance and yield with recombinant CHO cells in a chemically defined fed-batch environment. The protein-free, animal origin free formulation is designed to provide consistency and reduces the need to screen for adventitious agents. CD OptiCHO™ medium builds on Gibco™ CD CHO’s legacy of consistent cell growth and titers, while offering up to 40% better titer and cell growth over select competitors. Thanks to its low osmolality and advanced CHO CD EfficientFeed™ Liquid Nutrient Supplement Kit feeding options, CD OptiCHO™ medium is capable of gaining 2-5 fold increases in fed-batch productivity over batch culture.

When to Use CD OptiCHO™ Medium

• You are using a transfected CHO cell line other than CHO K1, GS CHO or CHO-S™ cell lines
• Optimization of feeding strategies will be part of your base medium selection testing in an effort to maximize productivity
• Your CHO cell line is “finicky,” i.e. hard to grow or adapt

When to Consider Another Gibco™ Medium

Consider CD FortiCHO™ medium when:
• The cell line you are using is a transfected CHO K1, GS CHO or CHO-S™ cell line
• Maximum batch culture cell densities and protein titers are needed
• You have time to adapt cells into a new medium in an effort to maximize titers
• Cell health at harvest is a priority for downstream processing

Consider CD CHO medium when:
• Your GS CHO cells are recommended to be grown in CD CHO medium
• Your cells have been successfully cultured in CD CHO medium in the past and your process is nearing a regulatory filing (DMF available)

Consider CD DG44 medium when:
• You use parental DG44 or DXB11 CHO cells (dhfr-)

Dry Media Formulations
Gibco™ liquid media are available in an AGT™ (Advanced Granulation Technology) dry media format that is designed to provide increased consistency and productivity across all stages of production from development to commercial manufacturing. AGT™ media are manufactured animal origin-free with the same complete, serum-free, protein-free, chemically-defined formulation and performance as their liquid media counterparts.

Design Your Own Media Specific to Your Needs

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I adapt my cells to serum-free medium?

Cells can be adapted by Sequential or Direct Adaptation. Suggested protocols for each are below, and you can also find more information by searching "Adaptation of Cell Cultures to a Serum-Free Medium" from our website home page.

SEQUENTIAL ADAPTATION
1) Subculture the cells growing in serum-supplemented medium into a 25%:75% mixture of SFM and serum supplemented medium.
2) When the cell density is 5 x 10E5 cells/ml, subculture the cells into a 50%:50% mixture of SFM and serum supplemented medium at a cell density 2.5 x 10E5 to 3 x 10E5 cells/ml.
3) Continue to subculture after the cell density 5 x 10E5 cells/ml in gradually increasing proportions of SFM until the serum is ~0.1% with about 85% cell viability.
4) Subculture the cells into SFM with an innoculum of 2.5 x 10E5 to 3 x 10E5 cells/ml.
5) When the cell density is 1 x 10E6 to 3 x 10E6 cells/ml (4 to 6 days post planting) subculture the cells again.
6) Stock cultures of SFM adapted cells should be subcultured in SFM every 3 to 5 days when the cell density is 1 x 10E6 to 3 x 10E6 cells/ml with 90% viability.

DIRECT ADAPTATION
Some cells can be directly adapted from serum-containing medium to SFM. For direct adaptation, the cell innoculum should be 1.5 x 10E5 to 3 x 10E5 cells/ml.
Cells should be subcultured when the cell density is 1 x 10E6 to 3 x 10E6 cells/ml. Cells are fully adapted to SFM when the cell density is 2 x 10E6 to 4 x 10E6 cells/ml after 4 to 7 days in culture.
Stock cultures of cells adapted to SFM should be subcultured in SFM every 3 to 5 days when the cell density is 1 x 10E6 to 3 x 10E6 cells/ml with 90% viability.

Why is it necessary to gradually adapt the cells to serum-free medium?

Some cells, such as insect cells, are sensitive to changes in their medium. By sequentially adapting cells, the medium is changed with minimal effects on cell growth.

My transfection reagent is not compatible with surfactants. Can you please tell me if CD OptiCHO Medium contains a surfactant?

While the full formulation for CD OptiCHO Medium is proprietary information that cannot be disclosed, we can confirm that the medium contains a surfactant. For the transfection step, you can use OptiPRO SFM (Cat. No. 12309050). After transfection, you can transfer the cells back into CD OptiCHO Medium.
