Description

Gibco VP-SFM AGT Medium is a flexible-format medium that is equivalent to VP-SFM with the addition of Advanced Granulation Technology for simplified preparation.

Gibco VP-SFM AGT Medium is a flexible-format medium that is equivalent to VP-SFM with the addition of Advanced Granulation Technology for simplified preparation. VP-SFM is a serum-free, animal-origin-free culture medium designed for growth of VERO cells and virus production. It is also suitable for the growth of COS-7, MDCK, BHK-21, and Hep2 cells and for recombinant protein production.

VP-SFM AGT™ is a serum-free, ultra-low protein medium in an easy-to-use granular format. It is designed for the growth of VERO cells for virus production and for the growth of COS-7, MDCK, BHK-21 and Hep-2 cells for recombinant protein production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the main benefits of using AGT?

Complete formulations
- Homogeneous distribution of minute components
- Complete complex formulations in a dry format, including serum-free, protein-free, and chemically defined nutrient media
- Pre-adjusted to the appropriate pH and osmolality
- Require only standard supplementation with L-glutamine for L-glutamine dependent systems
- Can be customized for modified catalog and customers' proprietary formulations

Granular format
- Dissolves instantly for faster media preparation times
- Dust-free granules reduce mess and environmental contamination
- Performance equivalent to liquid media
- Workflow improvement
- Helps reduce total cycle costs due to lower number of components, decreasing time involved in raw material planning, procurement, and testing
- Faster and easier media preparation, with less potential for error
- Easy to scale up from research through production, in batch sizes from 2 kg to 6,000 kg
- Available in various packaging options

What is AGT?

Granulated cell culture media is an easy-to-use, granular form of dry media that is produced by applying fluid bed granulation technology to cell culture nutrient media manufacturing. The patented process allows production of complete formulations of a variety of serum-free, protein-free, and chemically defined media in a dry format.

AGT offers the benefits of liquid media without the cost, storage, and transportation issues. It is a complete medium that is pH and osmolality pre-adjusted. The granules dissolve instantly for faster media preparation time than conventional dry powder media. AGT media can therefore help reduce total cycle costs, decreasing time involved in raw material planning, procurement, and testing as well as media preparation. These benefits are all realized while maintaining comparable cell growth to liquid media.
