Expi293F™ Cells
| Catalog Number | Quantity |
|---|---|
| A14527 | 1 mL |
| A14528 | 6 x 1 mL |
Expi293F Cells attributes include:
• Suspension culture cells pre-adapted to Expi293 Expression Medium
• Demonstrated higher protein expression levels than other 293 cells adapted to Expi293 Expression Medium
• Exhibit more rapid cell growth and higher culture viabilities than standard suspension-adapted 293 cells
• Consistent transient expression performance of Expi293F cells for over 30 passages beyond thaw
• Also available from a cGMP bank (Cat. No. 100044202)
Frozen cells are supplied in a vial containing 1 ml of cells at 1 x 107 viable cells/ml in Expi293 Expression Medium and 10% DMSO. The cells should be thawed directly into Expi293 Expression Medium. The six-vial multipack eliminates the need to expand and rebank the cells in the lab.
Cells are typically grown in flasks on a shaker platform in a humidified, CO2 cell culture incubator. However, cultures are scalable from volumes of <1 mL in multiwell plates to >10 L in bioreactors. Protein harvest can be performed at 2 to 7 days post-transfection, depending on the protein expressed. For expression of recombinant antibodies, harvest is typically at 5 to 7 days post-transfection. There is no need for culture medium supplementation or batch feeding during expression.
