Description PAN-Biotech Panexin Basic is a fully defined serum replacement for the cultivation of adherent and non-adherent cells under serum-free culture conditions or to significantly reduce the amount of serum in cell culture. It supports the growth of many cell types in an optimum manner without any extra handling compared to serum. A GMP Grade version is now available: Panexin Basic, Serum Replacement with Defined Components, GMP Grade. Composition Panexin basic contains purified proteins (< 1% w/v), lipids, salts, amino acids, trace elements, hormones and only traces of animal-derived components (< 1% w/v). It contains no growth factors, undefined hydrolysates or peptones. Advantages Panexin basic is designed to replace or to reduce serum in the cell culture in a very simple manner. In most cases there is no need to change the basal medium. As Panexin basic is fully defined and contains no peptones or hydrolysates, lot testing is no longer necessary. It also allows high reproducibility and a simplified downstream process. Panexin basic contains no growth factors and enables defined proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Characterization studies of growth factors will obtain more reproducible and clearer results. Panexin basic is also useful to develop sensitive cell-based in vitro tests and co-culture procedures. Suitability Panexin basic is suitable for the cultivation of a variety of adherent and non-adherent cells under serumfree culture conditions or to reduce the necessary FBS amount in cell culture.
