Recombinant Human Holo Transferrin Powder
Recombinant human holo transferrin powder is an animal origin-free iron-carrier supplement for defined cell culture media and serum-reduced workflows. CCM-RG-0082 is supplied as a powder in a 10 mL pack format for R&D, process development, and bioproduction media formulation. This cell culture supplement is intended for controlled addition to media where recombinant, non-animal components are preferred for consistency and traceability. CellCultureMedia offers free worldwide shipping and quotation support for scheduled supply.

Overview
CCM-RG-0082 is recombinant human holo transferrin, supplied as an animal origin-free powder for use as a defined iron-transport component in mammalian cell culture systems. Holo transferrin is the iron-loaded form of transferrin, enabling controlled delivery of ferric iron in media designs where serum, animal-derived extracts, or undefined additives are minimized. It is commonly evaluated in chemically defined, protein-containing, and serum-reduced formulations to support reproducible cell growth and productivity studies.
The product is categorized as a cell culture supplement and is suitable for procurement programs that require defined sourcing, powder format, and documented storage conditions. The stated shelf life is 48 months when stored as directed at -30 to -5 Β°C and protected from light. Shipping is performed on blue ice to support temperature control during transit. For related formulation components, see our cell culture reagents category.
Applications
- Supplementation of chemically defined and serum-reduced mammalian cell culture media where an animal origin-free iron carrier is required.
- Media optimization studies for CHO, HEK293, hybridoma, and other recombinant protein expression platforms using controlled iron availability.
- Replacement or reduction of serum-associated transferrin in R&D media development, clone screening, and scale-up comparability work.
- Use in custom feed or basal formulation studies where transferrin concentration is adjusted alongside insulin, trace elements, amino acids, and growth-supporting supplements.
- Process development experiments requiring lot-level documentation, consistent powder handling, and defined raw material selection for upstream workflows.
Storage and Handling
Store CCM-RG-0082 at -30 to -5 Β°C and protect the container from light. Keep sealed until use, and allow the container to equilibrate under controlled conditions before opening to reduce condensation exposure. Reconstitution concentration, diluent, filtration, and final working concentration should be selected according to the userβs validated medium formulation and cell line requirements. Use aseptic technique during weighing, reconstitution, and transfer. Avoid repeated temperature cycling and document opening date, operator, and remaining quantity for inventory control. The material is shipped on blue ice and should be moved to qualified frozen storage promptly on receipt.
Quality and Documentation
CellCultureMedia supplies CCM-RG-0082 for research and bioprocessing use with procurement-ready documentation support. Manufacturing and release workflows are ISO-aligned, with lot traceability and quality review appropriate for cell culture raw materials. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request and may include identity, appearance, and lot-specific release information; sterility, endotoxin, pH, and osmolality data should be confirmed from the applicable lot document when required for your internal specification. For documentation expectations, visit quality and compliance. For volume pricing, scheduled delivery, or standing orders, use the request quote form. Free worldwide shipping is available for qualifying orders, with blue-ice logistics used for this item.

- Recombinant Human Albumin in Cell CultureRecombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) is a 585-amino-acid, 66.5 kDa non-glycosylated protein produced in yeast such as *Pichia pastoris* or in transgenic rice rather than purified from human plasma, and it is used as an animal-origin-free supplement in serum-free and chemically defined culture media. In culture it works as a carrier for fatty acids, lipids, hormones and trace elements, as an antioxidant through its free cysteine-34 thiol, as a scavenger that sequesters toxic metals and excess free fatty acids, and as a shear-protective surface-active protein in stirred and sparged culture. Typical working concentrations are 0.1-10 g/L, most often 0.5-5 g/L, and it is commonly supplied as a 200 mg/mL (20%) solution. Its performance depends heavily on what is bound to it, so fatty-acid-loaded and fatty-acid-free preparations behave quite differently.
- Recombinant Human Insulin in Cell CultureRecombinant human insulin is a 51-amino-acid, 5.8 kDa two-chain protein used as a core supplement in serum-free and chemically defined culture media, where it drives glucose and amino acid uptake, protein and lipid synthesis, and cell survival. It is produced in *E. coli* or yeast rather than extracted from animal pancreas, making it animal-origin-free, and is usually supplied as a zinc-stabilised dry powder. The typical working concentration is 5-10 ug/mL, the level delivered by a standard 1X ITS supplement, which is roughly a thousandfold above physiological insulin levels -- at that concentration insulin acts substantially through the IGF-1 receptor as well as its own. Because insulin is poorly soluble near neutral pH, powder must be dissolved in dilute hydrochloric or acetic acid before dilution into medium.
