HybridBoost is an innovative defined, serum-free medium for high-performance hybridoma cultures, featuring stable glutamine, recombinant human insulin, and no added hydrolysates. Its built-in surfactant supports agitated systems, while animal-derived components and proteins are each <0.1 % w/v, supporting tight process control. For cholesterol-dependent lines, supplementation is recommended, and adaptation protocols are provided.

One product, two matched grades. HybridBoost is available as a research-use medium (P04-995910) and – like every PAN-Biotech product – in GMP quality on request (matched grade CT-995905). The same formulation carries you from research through further manufacturing to GMP with one partner.

Why HybridBoost

  • Defined & serum-free – no fetal bovine serum, removing a key source of lot-to-lot variability and regulatory risk.
  • No added hydrolysates – a chemically leaner background that supports tight process control and cleaner downstream purification.
  • Stable glutamine – reduced ammonia build-up and more consistent performance over extended culture.
  • Recombinant human insulin – animal-origin-conscious growth support.
  • Built-in surfactant – shear protection for shaken, stirred and agitated suspension systems.
  • < 0.1% w/v animal-derived components & proteins – for a controlled background and monoclonal antibody yield.

Frequently asked questions

Is HybridBoost serum-free?

Yes. HybridBoost is a defined, serum-free medium developed for hybridoma cultures. It contains no fetal bovine serum and no added hydrolysates; animal-derived components and proteins are each <0.1% w/v.

Is HybridBoost available in GMP quality?

Yes. Every PAN-Biotech product is available in GMP quality on request. The matched GMP grade of HybridBoost is CT-995905, manufactured GMP EU Annex 1–compliant by PAN-Celltech. Request the GMP grade here.

Do I need to add cholesterol?

HybridBoost is cholesterol-free. For cholesterol-dependent hybridoma lines, cholesterol supplementation is recommended; adaptation protocols are provided on request. For cholesterol-containing defined media, see Panserin H8000 (P04-718000).

Which catalogue number should I order?

For research use, order HybridBoost P04-995910 (1000 ml). For GMP-compliant supply, request the matched grade CT-995905 (500 ml).
