XCeLL Transferrin
XCeLL Transferrin is a recombinant human transferrin supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder. It is designed for use in serum-free and chemically defined cell culture media, where it functions as an essential iron-transport protein to support cell growth, metabolism, and proliferation in vitro.

Description
Key Features & Benefits
- Facilitates iron transport and uptake, supporting cellular respiration and DNA synthesis.
- Essential supplement for serum-free and chemically defined media formulations.
- Recombinant, animal-origin-free production ensures batch-to-batch consistency.
- Reduces dependence on serum while maintaining robust cell growth and viability.
- Suitable for research and early-stage process development applications.
Applications
- Serum-free and chemically defined mammalian cell culture
- Cultivated meat and cellular agriculture research
- Media optimization and feed strategies
- Proliferation and metabolic activity studies
- Bioprocess and scale-up development
Typical Use & Handling
Reconstitute the lyophilised transferrin in sterile water or suitable buffer to prepare a concentrated stock solution. Filter sterilize if required. Add to basal media or supplement blends at recommended working concentrations. Aliquot stocks and store frozen to minimize freeze–thaw cycles.
