More Serum Free Cell Lines - 
   Adapted to Protein- and Peptide-free Medium


The number of cell lines adapted to Cell Culture Technologies chemically defined protein- and peptide-free media expands to include:



293-Hektor - Human Embryo Kidney, serum-free


Catalogue no. 05030204
The human embryo kidney cell line 293 (ECACC catalogue no. 85120602) adapted to grow in the chemically defined protein- and peptide-free Hektor G medium (Cell Culture Technologies). Cells grow in suspension and tend to form aggregates in static culture. The cells grow as finely dispersed single cell suspension under optimal agitated culture conditions.



BHK21-InVitrus - Hamster Syrian kidney, serum-free-
Catalogue no. 05062302
The BHK21CL13-2P cell line (ECACC catalogue no. 84111301) adapted to grow in the chemically defined protein- and peptide-free InVitrus medium (Cell Culture Technologies).




COS-7-InVitrus - Monkey African green kidney, SV40 transformed, serum-free-


Catalogue no. 05063001
The COS-7 cell line (ECACC catalogue no. 87021302) adapted to grow in the chemically defined protein- and peptide-free InVitrus medium (Cell Culture Technologies). This cell line is substrate dependent i.e. adherent. COS-7 was derived from CV-1 simian cells transformed by an origin-defective mutant of SV40.
