CelThera™ GMP NK Cell Activation and Expansion Kit (Phenol Red-free)

DMF

Note: 1. Kit contents: 5 × GMP-CM3102A + 5 × GMP-CM31S2 + 1 × GMP-CM31S0Ex1 box (contains Expander 1–5, one vial each) + 4 × separate GMP-CM31S8 vials. 2. One unit of GMP-NKCM37 is equivalent to one unit of GMP-NKCM32 combined with four units of GMP-NKCM33. 3. Five complimentary bottles of CelThera™ GMP Phenol Red Solution (0.5%) (Cat# GMP-PI1100) is supplied with this kit. For cell culture procedures requiring phenol red indicator, add 1.5 mL of this solution to 1 L of CelThera™ GMP Immune Cell Expansion Medium (Phenol Red-free) and mix thoroughly.

Product Details

This kit is designed for culturing natural killer (NK) cells, utilizing a pure cytokine activation system. It is formulated to be serum-free, free of animal-derived components, and no antibiotics are added during manufacturing. Compared with kits containing animal-derived components or serum, it significantly reduces the risk of introducing heterologous substances during NK cell culture. Additionally, the absence of serum and animal-derived components ensures better batch-to-batch consistency of the kit. The CelThera™ GMP NK Cell Activation and Expansion Kit (Phenol Red-free) requires supplementation with human AB serum or autologous plasma for use.

Features

1. Serum-free, animal origin-free (AOF), and exogenous growth factors free.
2. Designed to support low-density seeding and high fold expansion of NK cells.
3. Suitable for large-scale NK cell expansion.
4. Contains only recombinant proteins as components, no antibiotics added during manufacturing.
5. A reduced amount of serum or serum substitutes can achieve a high-fold expansion of NK cells.
6. Both cancer-positive and healthy blood samples exhibit high-fold expansion.
