Performance Of HEKima™ Adherent HEK Cell Medium

Adherent HEK-293 cells are commonly used in various industries for protein synthesis and virus production, making the optimization of their culture conditions critical for efficient outcomes. Learn about the challenges of traditional media, such as DMEM supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS), and what makes HEKima™ Adherent a superior alternative for adherent cultures without requiring gradual weaning from serum-based media.

In this white paper, HEKima™ Adherent is compared to the gold standard DMEM + 10% FBS across multiple HEK-293 variants in a series of experiments. The results demonstrate that HEKima™ Adherent supports cell proliferation and protein expression at rates comparable to, or even exceeding, those seen with traditional media. The medium shows particular promise for enhancing protein production, as evidenced by increased GFP expression in HEK cells.

HEKima™ Adherent is also highly customizable, allowing researchers to tailor the formulation to their specific process requirements. Read on for insights that underscore the medium's potential to improve the scalability and efficiency of HEK cell-based research and production, making it a valuable tool for various biological applications.
