Serum Free Media: Introduction

Serum-free media (SFM) are cell culture media formulated without the use of animal serum or serum-derived components. Instead, SFM relies on defined components and growth factors that are chemically defined or derived from non-animal sources. SFM is widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry for the production of therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and other biologics.

SFM offers several advantages over serum-containing media, including batch-to-batch consistency, reduced risk of contamination by adventitious agents, and improved control over the quality and quantity of the product being produced. Additionally, the use of SFM can reduce the ethical concerns and variability associated with the use of animal serum in cell culture.

Overall, the use of SFM has become increasingly popular in the biopharmaceutical industry and it is expected to continue to grow in the coming years

Global Serum Free Media: Application and Uses


Serum-free media (SFM) are cell culture media formulated without animal-derived serum. SFMs have been developed to overcome the problems associated with serum-based media, such as contamination, lot-to-lot variation, and the potential presence of xenogeneic antigens, viruses, and prions. SFMs are used in various applications such as in vitro fertilization, stem cell research, monoclonal antibody production, vaccine production, and gene therapy. They are also used for the production of recombinant proteins and antibodies, particularly for biopharmaceuticals. SFMs have also found application in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly in the development of cell-based therapies.
