Formulated heat inactivated coelomic fluid fHI-CF serum free media is an alternative growth supplement for fetal bovine serum FBS in animal cell culture. The fHI-CF is a cocktail mixture of growth supplements and has numerous advantages over the FBS.
Title: We have collected coelomic fluid from the earthworm, P.excavatus by non-invasive methods, processed and formulated for production of fHI-CF an alternative for FBS . Briefly, the collected coelomic fluid was processed, heat-inactivated, formulated and standardized. The effectiveness of this formulated HI-CF in supporting cell attachment, proliferation, and growth has been proven in adherent cells. This has been tested in a variety of cell lines and shows promising results when compared to FBS.
