FORT COLLINS, Colo., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Pettit, Director of
the company's Cell Culture Group, presented results of InVitria's
(http://www.InVitria.com) Cellastim in mammalian cell culture at the 2008
BioProcess International Conference in Anaheim, California this week.
"Cellastim showed superior results compared to other sources of albumin
and delivered an average of 50% improvement in productivity in CHO cell lines
using variety of the leading chemically defined and animal free medias sold in
the US," said Dr. Steve Pettit, Director of InVitria's Cell Culture Group.
Studies support InVitria's claim that its Cellastim product, an
animal free recombinant human serum albumin, outperforms other chemically
defined cell culture ingredients and is gaining acceptance by the
biopharmaceutical industry as a supplement for cell culture media. Cellastim
is a defined supplement that can enhance performance of chemically-defined
media.
Additionally, InVitria's Lacromin product, which is an animal free
recombinant lactoferrin, has proven to be a strong growth factor while
simultaneously enhancing productivity across many cell lines.
"We continue to show powerful results of Cellastim and Lacromin in cell
culture media for a variety of cell lines including CHO, Hybridoma, Vero and
NS0 cells. Since these are well defined supplements, they help our customers
achieve both their regulatory and manufacturing goals. These are the only
supplements available that not only improve cell culture performance, but do
this while maintaining a defined and animal free media," said Scott Deeter,
InVitria's President.
