Spodopan
Serum-Free Insect Cell Medium
Serum- and protein-free medium for Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9, Sf21)
RUO (P04-850500) · GMP quality on request
Spodopan is a specialized serum- and protein-free medium optimized for Spodoptera frugiperda cells (Sf9 and Sf21) in suspension culture. It enhances cell growth rates and protein expression levels, especially for large-scale production. The composition is tailored to specific nutritional requirements. It contains no protein or any other components of human or animal origin – only traces of animal-derived components (<0.2 % w/v) and hydrolysates (<0.7 % w/v).
Built for baculovirus-based expression at scale. Sf9 and Sf21 are among the most established hosts for baculovirus expression; Spodopan supports high-density, serum-free culture for research and production workflows. Available in GMP quality on request.
Why Spodopan
- Serum- & protein-free – clean, defined background for reproducible expression and easier downstream processing.
- Sf9 / Sf21 optimized – tailored to the nutritional requirements of Spodoptera frugiperda cell lines.
- Higher expression – enhances cell growth rates and protein expression levels, especially for large-scale production.
- Scale-ready – suited to large-scale baculovirus production.
