Extending Viability in CHO Cells
A common question we encounter is: how can I extend CHO cell viability through the process of protein production? One common practice to maintain higher viability is to shift cell cultures to mild hypothermic conditions, e.g. 37°C to 32°C. Here, we discuss a hot (er… cold?) tip involving the CHOgro® High Yield Expression System, which also supports additional flexible protocol options for researchers who cannot shift cultures to 32°C or who desire extended cellular viability beyond one week following transfection.
