FastGro Synthetic, Animal Free, Chemically Defined FBS Replacement

FastGro allows culturing cells in vitro without the use of serum and without any animal or human derived compound. FastGro is a fully defined additive, avoiding the need for serum, for a wide range of cell culture practices. Since FastGro is chemically defined it avoids lot-to-lot variations. All components in FastGro are highly purified and identified chemical compounds.

FastGro is available in 100 mL and 500 mL package size.

Culturing cells in a FastGro enriched medium represents a number of benefits as compared to conventional FBS enriched media.

• Due to its chemically defined nature there are no lot-to-lot variations. This skips the need for testing new batches of serum.
• There is no interference of unknown serum compounds in your research.
• Since it doesn't contain hormones nor cytokines it doesn't bias your research data.
• FastGro is save in use, since it doesn't contain animal or human derived materials.
• It can be stored in the refrigerator. No need for thawing before use.

FastGro is easy to use:

Just add FastGro to your culture medium as you do with FBS (usually 10%). To shift from FBS containing media to FastGro containing medium we advise to follow the step-by-step weaning of the cells.

Examples of cells which have successfully been cultured on FastGro enriched medium:

• Liver epithelial cells
• HaCaT
• Primary human hepatocytes
• Hybridoma
• VERO
• HEK293
• CHO
• HEP G2
• HeLa
• Human keratinocytes
