Sigma-Aldrich AOF ITS Supplement (100X) (ITS, Insulin Transferrin Selenite)

General Description
EMD Millipore’s AOF ITS (100X) supplement is an animal-origin-free product that contains human recombinant insulin, human recombinant transferrin along with sodium selenite.
Undefined animal derived media supplements, such as fetal bovine serum, have recently been an area of concern for many cell culturists due to their increased costs, lot to lot variability and increased regulation worldwide. The elimination of fetal bovine serum from cell culture media provides a more defined enviroment to study basic biological questions. Serum-free and reduced serum formulations often require purified forms of the factors normally supplied by serum that are suitable for in vitro growth and differentiation studies such as insulin, transferrin and selenite.
ITS supplements have been proven to replace serum and grow the following cells in serum free or reduced serum conditions: CHO, HEK293, fibroblasts, hybridoma, VERO cells, Hela, HT29, MDCK, Mesenchymal, IPS Cells, Cardiac, kidney, keratinocyte, embryonic, neural stem cell, hepatocytes.
