Puredex® Cyto-1 Microcarrier
Brief description

Puredex® Cyto-1 is a type of microcarrier based on cross-linked dextran matrix with positively charged groups. Puredex® cytodex 1 microcarriers can provide a broad adhesion surface for cells, thereby increasing cell density and achieving high yields. Such cytodex microcarriers make it possible to change the way adherent cells are cultured, while making it easier to optimize the cell culture process to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Puredex® Cyto-1 microcarrier can be used for the culture of a variety of host cells, including 293 cells, Vero cells, and CHO cells.


With these unique properties, Puredex® Cyto-1 microcarrier has become an indispensable material in today's extremely demanding upstream cell culture process, and plays an important role in the fields of biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies, vaccines, nucleic acids, enzymes, and recombinant proteins.
