Schneider’s Drosophila Medium
Medium for Drosophila and other dipteran insect cell lines · Insect-cell medium · RUO (P04-90500)
Schneider’s Drosophila Medium is a cell culture medium developed for the cultivation of Drosophila melanogaster and other dipteran insect cell lines, including Schneider S2 cells. It supports both adherent and suspension insect-cell cultures and is commonly supplemented with insect-qualified serum. It is widely used for recombinant protein expression in Drosophila-based systems.
PAN-Biotech quality. Schneider’s Drosophila Medium is manufactured by PAN-Biotech / PAN-Celltech and released against a defined quality-control panel. A GMP grade is available on request.
