OPTICULTURE™
SERUM-FREE MEDIUM

OptiCulture™ is a nutrient-rich, phenol red–free formulation featuring physiological glucose levels and customizable supplements. Whether you are scaling up or fine-tuning complex models, OptiCulture™ delivers consistent, translationally meaningful results.

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.
