CELLiST™ BASAL Media
for CHO cell lines
High-performance, chemically-defined media, free from any animal-derived ingredients
Cell Culture Media
CELLiST™ BASAL Media, designed for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines, is the culmination of Ajinomoto's 30+ years of experience in amino acid technology and the cell culture media industry. These chemically-defined media, offered under the CELLiST™ brand, are meticulously formulated without any animal-derived ingredients. Within the CELLiST™ product line, BASAL CHO MX growth medium provides a well-balanced combination of amino acids and essential nutrients, ensuring robust cell growth and maximum productivity in biologics manufacturing. CELLiST™ serves as a comprehensive solution for all your biologics manufacturing needs.
CELLiST™ BASAL CHO MX, our newest basal medium, was developed in collaboration with KBI
Biopharma and JSR Life Sciences. This partnership leveraged KBI's expertise in upstream cell culture processes to achieve optimal performance. This transformative, chemically-defined, and animal origin-free medium significantly enhances the performance of CHO cell lines, unlocking exceptional productivity levels across a variety of cell lines.
