Products for protein production

FectoPRO^® Transfection kit is specifically designed for enhanced Transient Gene Expression (TGE) in suspension CHO and HEK-293 cells in various serum-free media, using low DNA amount (< 1 µg/ml of cell culture).

FectoCHO™ Expression system consists in the synergistic association of  FectoCHO™ CD Medium, FectoPRO® Transfection Reagent and its expression booster. FectoCHO™ CD medium allows easy cultivation of various strains of CHO cells such as CHO-K1, CHO-S and ExpiCHO™-S , without the need of an extensive sequential adaptation. FectoPRO®-mediated transient transfection in this chemically defined medium leads to the highest protein and antibody yields ever reached using Transient Gene Expression, up to 4 times higher than with the competitors’ systems.

Products for virus production

PEIpro^® is a DNA transfection reagent for production of viruses, recombinant proteins and antibodies either in adherent cells in presence of serum or in suspension HEK-293 cells grown in low serum or serum-free media.

PEIpro^®-HQ is a highly qualified grade of PEIpro^® reagent, especially developed for the production of clinical batches of recombinant proteins, antibodies or viral vectors. The PEIpro^®-HQ grade is supplied with appropriate Quality Controls and documentation allowing its use as a qualified raw material in GMP processes for the manufacturing of clinical batches of therapeutic products.
