Gibco™ OncoPro™ Tumoroid Culture Medium Kit

Description

• The Gibco OncoPro Tumoroid Culture Medium Kit is an easy-to-use culture system optimized for the expansion of patient-derived tumoroid lines
• Tumoroids (also referred to as cancer organoids or tumor organoids) are known to have complex culture requirements that can be challenging
• OncoPro medium simplifies tumoroid culture to make physiologically relevant cancer models more accessible
• Features include: Optimized formulation for patient-derived tumoroid culture Streamlined media preparation, culture methods, and support Adaptable use for multiple cancer indications and downstream assays Optimized performance OncoPro Tumoroid Culture Medium is a novel, serum-free media system specifically developed for patient-derived cancer cell expansion
• Over 40 conditions were tested during its development to identify the combination of basal medium, supplements, and growth factors that would best support long-term maintenance of donor-specific characteristics, including mutational profiles and gene expression patterns
• The absence of Wnt-3A, R-spondin, Noggin, and small molecule inhibitors make OncoPro medium well-suited for complex biological studies and screening applications
• Meanwhile, our strict quality standards help ensure that this ready-to-use media system provides consistency and reproducibility
• Streamlined adoption This versatile media system includes a four-component kit that can be adapted for different cancer indications through addition of tissue-specific growth factors
• An innovative suspension culture method eliminates the requirement for manual cell embedding in basement membrane extract domes, helping provide a cost-effective and less labor-intensive option for routine tumoroid culture
• OncoPro medium is broadly compatible with various starting materials, including dissociated tumor cells (DTCs), patient-derived xenograft organoids (PDXOs), and tumoroid lines derived in other media systems
• Comprehensive resources and support are available to help ensure effortless adoption
• Adaptable application The OncoPro Tumoroid Culture Medium Kit is a flexible system designed to help address complex research needs
• It accommodates multiple cancer indications (colorectal, lung, pancreatic, head and neck) using a single media kit
• The kit’s scalable and automation-friendly suspension workflow facilitates smooth transitions to downstream research applications, including traditional 2D assays, diverse characterization techniques, and advanced cell-based modeling.
