Serum Free Medium for MDCK
Serum-Free Medium for MDCK Cells
Serum-free medium for MDCK cell growth, developed for vaccine production
RUO (P04-71105) · GMP grade on request
This specialized formulation supports MDCK cell growth without serum, which is crucial for vaccine production where serum components could interfere with purification or introduce contaminants. The medium maintains epithelial characteristics including tight junction formation and transepithelial resistance, essential for barrier function studies. MDCK cells are widely used in virus production, particularly for influenza vaccines, and as a model for epithelial barrier function.
Serum-free MDCK culture, built for vaccine workflows. Removing serum keeps downstream purification clean and avoids introduced contaminants, while the medium maintains tight-junction formation and transepithelial resistance. Like every PAN-Biotech product, it is available in GMP quality on request – manufactured GMP EU Annex 1-compliant by PAN-Celltech.
