Optiferrin^® – Recombinant human transferrin

Product Description

Optiferrin® is a high-purity recombinant human transferrin (rTf), designed as a chemically defined, blood-free alternative to human holo transferrin for cell culture, stem cell expansion, and bioproduction applications. Engineered to deliver equivalent or superior performance to plasma-derived transferrin, Optiferrin provides unmatched regulatory advantages, safety, and consistency, making it ideal for serum-free and animal-free media formulations.

Manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015-certified, cGMP-compliant facility in the United States, Optiferrin ensures batch-to-batch consistency, pathogen safety, and scalability for research and industrial applications.

Advantages

• Optimized for Serum-Free, Animal-Origin-Free Cell Culture
  • Fully recombinant, blood-free human transferrin – ensuring consistent performance without batch variability.
  • Equivalent to human holo transferrin in supporting cell growth, proliferation, and iron homeostasis.
  • Improves cell viability and metabolic activity in a wide range of cell culture applications.
• Animal-Origin-Free Assurance
  • 100% chemically defined and animal-origin-free (AOF) – eliminating risks associated with plasma-derived transferrin.
  • Manufactured using a non-animal, non-human host system, ensuring purity and reproducibility.
  • Raw materials, manufacturing equipment, and packaging are fully animal-free, aligning with regulatory and ethical standards.
• Manufactured in the United States
  • Produced in a tertiary-level, ISO 9001:2015-certified facility in the USA.
  • Complete supply and manufacturing chain is owned and operated by InVitria, ensuring unmatched traceability and quality control.
  • Batch-to-batch consistency for reliable integration into cGMP bioproduction workflows.
• Ready-to-Use Lyophilized Format
  • Supplied as a lyophilized powder, providing long-term stability and easy reconstitution.
  • Flexible formulation to support a wide range of cell culture applications.
  • Eliminates variability associated with plasma-derived transferrin, enabling chemically defined media development.

Applications

• Cell Culture & Bioproduction
  • Supports CHO, HEK, VERO, and other mammalian cell lines, optimizing biopharmaceutical and vaccine production.
  • Enables serum-free and chemically defined media for more consistent, reproducible results.
• Stem Cell Expansion & Regenerative Medicine
