Synthetic Low Density Lipoprotein for Animal Component Free Tissue Culture

Groundbreaking research from the University of Strathclyde has produced a synthetic low density lipoprotein (sLDL) which can be prepared from animal-free ingredients and provides all the required lipids in one product. sLDL circumvents the problems associated with serum, and its constituents can be more accurately controlled. Unlike current artificial lipid supplements, sLDL also provides the cells with lipids in the correct biological format for natural assimilation via the LDL pathway.

Key Benefits

Prepared from certified animal free materials
Controlled lipid profile & concentration
Biomimetic
Capable of cGMP production
Chemically and physically stable (4°C)
Filterable (0.2 µm)
Surfactant, cyclodextrin and protein free

Applications

Tissue culture
Tissue engineering
Cellular therapy
In vitro cell research
