Yocon is committed to produce high-quality and brand serum-free cell culture products, laying a solid foundation for cell culture media solutions.

Immune Cell Serum-Free Medium 6.0 (rHSA)

Functionalized recombinant human albumin system to break the expansion bottleneck; Fully human-origin-free & animal-origin-free, empowering NK therapeutics with safety, high efficiency and controllability.

Product use

This medium is used for the in vitro expansion of human NK cells derived from peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood, supporting IIT research and industrial process development of NK and CAR-NK cells. Its xeno-free, chemically defined formulation meets CMC compliance requirements for cell therapy. Compatible with Repair 1.0 and closed automated manufacturing systems, it provides a stable culture substrate for allogeneic NK drug development, potency evaluation and process optimization.
