Viral Vaccine Cell Culture Media

Specialty Media Designed to Allow Maximum Cell Growth and Virus production

Viral vaccines are produced by viral infection of susceptible animal cells or by recombinant protein expression in suitable host cells. A variety of cell lines are used for production of viral vaccines, mostly cells derived from kidneys, such as Vero, MDCK, and HEK293. Others cell types can also be used (sf9, sf21, EB66®, ...) to produce recombinant protein vaccines, also called recombinant Subunit.

Specialty media offered in this category have been designed to allow maximum cell growth and virus production.

Cell lines from different sources may have specific nutritional requirements and may therefore prefer one medium over another. More than one medium formulation should be evaluated to determine the best option.

As a partner of the vaccine industry, we at Sartorius are committed to providing extensive media solutions for developing vaccines using these platforms.

HEK293 Media

Our high performing HEK media are designed to best fit with the high variability of HEK293 cell lines, the versatility of AAV and complexity of viral vector processes from early clinical phases to large commercial scale.

Related Viral Vaccine Media Products

Our portfolio includes others media for Vero, MDCK, Hek 293 cells, for production of vaccines against, for example, influenza, polio, and MMR and other cell lines used in the production of viral vectors 

ProVero™ 1 Serum-Free Medium Allows for High Density Vero Cultures and Good Virus Titer

ProVero™ 1 serum-free medium is protein-free and designed to support the growth of Vero and MDCK kidney cells. ProVero™ 1 Medium includes HEPES and sodium bicarbonate buffer. The absence of proteins and the very low levels of human recombinant insulin facilitate both downstream processing and regulatory compliance. Some Vero cell strains require additional supplementation with 5.0 μg/L rhEGF for optimal cell growth.

Insect-XPRESS™ Is a Proven Easy-To-Use Medium for Viral Infection

Insect-XPRESS™ medium is a protein-free formulation designed to support the growth of insect cell lines derived from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9 and Sf21). High cell densities can be achieved with suspension cultures of Sf9 cells using Insect-XPRESS™ Medium and an excess of oxygen. This formulation can also be used for stationary mono-layer cultures and shake-flask cultures. Insect-XPRESS™ Medium contains L-glutamine and supports superior production of recombinant proteins with viral vectors such as  Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS).
