OptiPRO™ SFM is a serum-free, animal origin-free culture medium designed for growth of several kidney-derived cell lines including MDBK, MDCK, PK-15 and VERO for virus or recombinant protein production. In addition, OptiPRO™ SFM has successfully grown other cell lines, such as Hela, BHK-21 and COS-7. Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM features:
• Serum-free, animal origin-free, low protein formulation
• Direct adaptation for many popular cell lines

Serum-free, animal origin-free, low protein formulation
Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM is formulated with a very low protein concentration (< 10 μg/ml), allowing for easier purification of your recombinant protein.

Direct adaptation for many popular cell lines
Gibco™ OptiPRO™ SFM has been designed for growth of kidney-derived cell lines such as MDCK, MDBK, VERO and PK-15. In addition, OptiPRO™ SFM has successfully grown other cell lines, such as Hela, BHK-21 and COS-7, allowing you to choose a single medium for multiple cell lines.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Do you offer a protocol for titering virus in OptiPRO SFM?

For virus titering in OptiPRO SFM we recommend using Falcon or equivalent 96-well plates and plating cells at a concentration of 1 X 10^6/mL. If you are having trouble growing cells for virus titration in OptiPRO SFM in the 96-well plates, we suggest switching to the EMEM with 5%FBS or DMEM with 5% FBS.

Is there a recommended protocol for culturing cell lines in OptiPRO SFM that require sequential adaptation?

The sequential adaptation process is a multi-subculture of cells. We recommend the following passaging sequence:
• First passage: use 25% OptiPRO SFM:75% original stock medium
• Second passage: use 50% OptiPRO SFM:50% original stock medium
• Third passage: use 75% OptiPRO SFM:25% original stock medium
• Fourth and subsequent passages: use 100% OptiPRO SFM

Can I add antibiotics to OptiPRO SFM?

You can supplement OptiPRO SFM with 5mL/L Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Cat. No. 15240096)

What concentration of L-glutamine or GlutaMAX-I should I add to OptiPRO SFM before I use it?

We recommend adding L-glutamine or GlutaMAX-I to OptiPRO SFM at a final concentration of 4mM.
