ZAP-CHO: A Powerful New CHO Cell Culture Supplement

Figure 1: ZAP-CHO enhances performance of mammalian cell culture by optimizing cell growth and reducing apoptosis, leading to higher antibody production yield. It achieves these performance advantages in commercial media, especially chemically defined media and serum– or animal-component–free media. Because ZAP-CHO is defined and free of animal components, it is an ideal additive for cell culture media formulations. ZAP-CHO is an important breakthrough in mammalian cell culture operations. Previously, the performance seen with ZAP-CHO required the use of hydrolysates, FBS…
