Peptones for cell culture applications

Lab M has launched NutriTone, a brand of peptones that includes a range of growth-tested peptones designed to be used in mammalian cell culture for vaccine production and biotechnology.

Each batch of NutriTone peptones is assayed for cell growth in defined culture conditions to provide extra assurance about in-use performance, supporting the development of high-yielding, cost-efficient processes.

Peptones are often used in place of supplement amino acids, bovine serum or foetal calf serum in mammalian cell culture, as they have been observed to increase product yields and reduce manufacturing costs. However, as natural products, peptones are inherently variable and most grades are unsuitable for mammalian cell culture.

The NutriTone range is said to add further assurance to products that already have a long-standing reputation for use in mammalian cell culture.
