The Media Optimization Kit, Animal-Product-Free Media Optimization Kit, and new Prime-olate APF Media Optimization Kit enable researchers to determine the best media formulation that yields the highest amount of target protein. Since the production of a given recombinant protein can vary significantly depending on the type of medium employed, the MOK's provide four proprietary expression broths, as well as Glucose M9Y, and LB Broth (Miller). The APF kit contains APF Certified versions of Athena's proprietary expression media, and the Prime-olate Kit contains the new Prime-olate expression series, formulated with Athena's casein hydrolysate replacement Atholate. Each dry powder kit contains enough mix to prepare 1 liter of each of the six media. The ready-to-use liquid kits contain 100mL of each medium.
