CHOExpress®
hosts cells
The fastest growing CHO host for biotech
We developed a uniquely high-performing production host system for large-scale manufacturing. CHOExpress® derivative clonal populations commonly show fast growth to densities over 20 million cells/mL, process yields over 5 g/L, and great robustness for high-scale manufacturing (1oo doublings).
The cell line is the result of nearly a decade of work, and is validated with FDA and EMEA cell line documentation, including TSE, BSE and mycoplasma-free statements. The cell line is immortalized.
CHOExpress® is highly compatible with other systems, and can be used royalty-free. ExcellGene will guide you in ensuring favorable phenotypes in CHOExpress®-derived clonal populations. Our knowledge on gene transfer and isolation of top-performing cell populations is at your disposal.
FlexiCHO® medium.
A high performance chemically defined medium formulation for growth and production and for biosimilar quality adjustements.
HEKExpress®
hosts cells
Pioneering single-cell suspension for transient gene expression and virus like particle production
HEKExpress® is a fast-growing, productive and robust HEK-293 derived cell line for large-scale manufacturing of recombinant proteins.
After nearly a decade of work with the adherent cell line, ExcellGene has generated an aggregate-free single-cell suspension culture with very high transfection efficiency. This also means scale-up in serum-free, animal component-free or chemically defined media is easy.
HEKExpress® demonstrates the highest TGE yield ever reported in the literature (> 1g/L). HEK-293 cells are commonly used for academic research, and are very suited for transient gene expression. The host system can be licensed along with our proprietary chemically defined medium.
Features
- A single-cell suspension host system for TGE and VLP production
- Highest transient expression yield ever reported in the literature (> 1g/L)
