Hi,
I would like to get some feedback on the type of media that people are
using for insect cell culturing.
We have happily made a transition last year from using Invitrogen's
SFM medium and cellfectin to Insect-Xpress (Lonza) and
polyethyleneimine for transfection. We are moving several protein
targets to large-scale cultures and would consider cost-cutting
alternatives. For example, Invitrogen and Thermo Sci both offer media
in powder form at an attractive price. Has anyone made a systematic
comparison of these media? Any particular recommendations regarding
powder media?
Thanks.
-Chris
