Overview

Cell Growth Promoter (CGP) has been developed by New Life Biologics LLC in the US. It is manufactured using components extracted and enhanced from adult bovine plasma in unique manufacturing processes. Cell Growth Promoter (CGP) is an ideal alternative to foetal bovine serum (FBS) with equal or improved performance.

CGP is intended for use in any application where FBS is currently being used and in new processes where FBS may be a candidate for use. CGP is available from LSG in both liquid and powder form. The product can be utilised as liquid in the same way as FBS or then added to media/reagents in a powdered form and reconstituted with the complete formulation.

The product is available as a dry or crystalline non-sterile white powder for reconstitution or as a liquid solution that has been aseptically processed and tested for sterility and cell growth. Full information is supplied on the certificate of analysis.
