SEREXIS™ 180 & Lipid Mix 180, Capricorn Scientific
SEREXIS™ represents the next generation, a true serum alternative with FBS-like performance and greater consistency.
SEREXIS™ 180 is a defined serum alternative developed as a functional replacement for traditional fetal bovine serum (FBS) across a broad range of cell culture applications. Designed to deliver FBS-like performance under controlled and reproducible conditions, it can be used as a direct replacement for FBS at standard serum concentrations, enabling seamless integration into established workflows.
SEREXIS™ 180 supports reliable cell growth, adherence, proliferation, viability, and morphology across multiple cell types, including A549, HeLa, MDCK, Vero, primary immune cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts.
Combining expertise in chemically defined media development with decades of experience in high-quality FBS manufacturing, SEREXIS™ 180 contains essential trace elements, defined proteins, and highly purified protein fractions to support robust cell growth while maintaining consistent culture conditions. Animal-derived components are sourced from traceable origins and gamma-irradiated to enhance viral safety and mitigate potential risks in regulated environments.
For cell types with increased lipid or fatty acid requirements, such as Hybridoma cultures, SEREXIS™ 180 can be supplemented with Lipid Mix 180, a chemically defined lipid supplement that supports membrane synthesis, cellular metabolism, and proliferation.
SEREXIS™ 180 and Lipid Mix 180 are suitable for basic research, diagnostic laboratory applications, vaccine production, and biotechnology workflows.
Key Benefits include:
High Performance without FBS for robust growth and stable morphology
Designed and validated across multiple cell types including cell lines and primary cells
Direct and seamless integration of SEREXIS™ 180 in established workflows without adaptations
Improved reproducibility due to the defined, homogeneous formulation
Controlled sourcing and enhanced viral safety
Optional Lipid Mix 180 for demanding cell types
