Sheffield Bio-Science brings new animal component free (ACF) recombinant supplements to the cell culture market
Driven to meet the changing needs of the market, Sheffield Bio-Science has introduced two high-quality and cost-effective recombinant supplements for animal component free (ACF) supplementation of cell culture media.
Sheffield rAlbumin ACF is an animal-component-free (ACF) replacement for HSA, BSA, and can be used to reduce/replace serum when used as a stand alone supplement or when combined with other components, such as plant-derived protein hydrolysates.
Sheffield rAprotinin ACF is a recombinant form of traditional bovine-derived aprotinin that is produced using exclusive technology. Aprotinin, also known as pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, acts as a serine protease inhibitor that forms stable complexes with and blocks the active sites of enzymes atnear neutral pH conditions.
Sheffield was first to the market with non-animal-derived protein hydrolysates for both serum replacement and general media and system optimization. The company continues to develop new products that greatly enhance performance and offer alternatives to serum and other animal-derived media components.
