SCP01 Schneider’s Insect Medium (Modification 1) containing L-glutamine and yeast extract, but not containing calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, is a robust growth medium tailored for insect cell culture. This formulation is specifically designed to promote optimal cell growth and viability, making it ideal for various biotechnological applications. The inclusion of yeast extract enhances the nutrient profile, providing essential vitamins, amino acids, and growth factors necessary for insect cells to thrive.

Key applications include:

  • Recombinant Protein Production: Utilized for the expression of complex proteins and enzymes.
  • Viral Vector Production: Supports the generation of viral vectors for gene therapy and vaccine research.
  • Cell Line Development: Facilitates the establishment of stable insect cell lines for long-term studies.

This medium supports a variety of insect cell lines, including:

  • Drosophila S2 cells: A widely used line for gene expression studies and protein production.
  • Sf9 cells: Derived from Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly employed in baculovirus systems.
  • High Five cells: Sourced from Trichoplusia ni, known for high-yield protein expression.
By adopting SCP01 Schneider’s Insect Medium (Modification 1), researchers can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their insect cell cultures, driving advancements in biotechnology and pharmaceutical development.
