Key benefits:

  • Suitable for long-term routine culture of adherently growing established human cancer cell lines
  • Compatible with most commonly used human cancer cell lines
  • Serum- and xeno-free
  • Standardized and reproducible system

Components:

  • Cancer Cell Basal Medium
  • Cancer Cell SupplementMix

Our Cancer Cell Line Medium XF is the working horse of the cancer cell culture toolbox. It allows you to cultivate or co-cultivate a range of different cancer cells, cancer-associated cells, and non-cancer cells such as immune or stromal cells. This rich growth medium supports the long-term cultivation of cancer cells over many passages.

You can use the Cancer Cell Line Medium XF as a standalone to expand and maintain a cancer cell population in a standardized and reproducible environment. Or you can use it in combination with the Primary Cancer Cell Culture System (PCCS) and the 3D Tumorsphere Medium XF, e.g., to establish cancer cell lines from tumor biopsies.

Due to the flexible nature of our Cancer Cell Line Medium XF, you can use it to support a broad range of cancer cell lines or cancer cells from tumor biopsies while maintaining the tumor-initiating cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Cancer Cell Line Medium XF is serum-free and xeno-free and provides an environment free from non-defined materials, such as fetal calf serum, extracts, or hydrolysates. Cancer Cell Line Medium XF also shows very low lot-to-lot variability.

These properties provide the ideal culture environment to be used for other applications such as co-cultivation of cancer cells and immune cells for cell therapy development like CAR-T cells. The serum- and xeno-free formulation supports the expansion of extracellular vesicle (EV)-producing cancer cells in an EV-free environment.

Note: The serum- and xeno-free formulation means non-availability of attachment factors. Hence, coating with an appropriate adhesion factor is a pre-requisite. For the establishment of the culture conditions, it is recommended to test fibronectin and vitronectin coating.

Growth Curves
Figure 1. This figure shows example growth curves of four frequently used cancer cell lines cultivated in Cancer Cell Line Medium XF (C-28077), a serum- and xeno-free culture system. All of them exhibited a constant proliferation rate. The cell lines were plated at 5,000 cells/cm2 in T25 flasks coated with appropriate attachment substrates. For HT1080, 1 µg/cm2 of human fibronectin was used, while A549, HT29, and HepG2 were seeded on 0.5 µg/cm2 of recombinant human vitronectin. The cells were subcultured for between four and seven days depending on the cell line’s proliferation rate. The cumulative population doublings of 10 subsequent passages are shown for each cell line.

The cell lines robustly maintained their typical morphological phenotypes while exhibiting faster proliferation rates that with conventional serum-containing culture systems. The magnifications of the images shown are A: 100x, B: 40x, C: 100x, D: 40x, E: 100x, and F: 100x.
