OPTICULTURE™
SERUM-FREE MEDIUM

OptiCulture™ Serum-Free Medium is a serum-free, phenol red–free, nutrient-rich formulation with physiological glucose levels and customizable supplements. Engineered for human-relevant and immune-compatible cell and organoid cultures, it enables reproducible, translationally relevant outcomes.

One Medium, Many Models:

This medium is particularly suited for Ex vivo cultures of endothelial, epithelial, CNS and retinal cells for:

• Disease modeling, such as Liver-on-A-Chip, Kidney-on-A-Chip, and Lung-on-A-Chip.
• Drug screening.
• Barrier modeling, such as Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), Blood-Retinal Barrier (BRB).

• Xeno-Free Kit OptiCulture™ Serum-Free Medium-RH: Formulated without animal-derived components to ensure high reproducibility and bio-/immune-compatibility in sensitive research models.
• Nutrient-Rich Serum-Free Composition. Provides essential amino acids, lipids, nucleotides, vitamins, and cofactors to sustain healthy, long-lived cultures and support demanding assays.
• Physiological Glucose Levels. Mirrors in vivo glucose to maintain stable transcriptomic profiles, preserve native cell functions, and reduce experimental artifacts.
• Phenol Red–Free: Designed for cell culture applications requiring minimal background interference, enabling clearer imaging, precise assay readouts, and reliable hormone-sensitive studies.
• Recombinant Human Growth Factors or Proprietary Brain-Derived Supplementation. OptiCulture™ kits are available with either recombinant human growth factors (OptiBoom-R™) - broadening support across multiple human cell types - or a proprietary brain-derived supplement (OptiBoom-B™), tailored for CNS, retinal, and neurovascular models.
• Customizable Supplements. Separate supplement vials allow researchers to adjust formulations for specific cell types, co-cultures, and experimental conditions - maximizing flexibility and reproducibility.
