Product news

ProBioGen AG and Life Technologies Corporation announce the launch of the new Freedom™ CHO-S™ Kit as the result of a successful co-development. The kit was built for developing stable high yield production cell lines in less than 4 months, and is based on Life Technologies’ CHO-S™ Cells. The Freedom™ CHO-S™ Kit platform enables end-users the cost- and time-efficient creation of stable cell lines for research and commercial purposes. The kit’s applicability and efficiency was confirmed in several studies, in which antibody titers of 1 to 3 g/L have been obtained.

The Freedom™ CHO-S™ Kit, sold by Life Technologies, includes all major components to complete the cell line development work flow: cGMP banked CHO-S™ cells, a cloning vector for two genes, transfection reagent, competent cells, serum-free cell culture media and reagents. With this kit it is possible to go from transfection to lead clone in less than 4 months. Research use rights are granted upon kit purchase.

A full documentation package is provided as part of a commercial use license. The package includes the cell line’s lineage as well as the history and the parental cGMP testing results.

Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
