Cytiva HyClone ADCF Antifoam Agent – 500 mL, Irradiated

The Cytiva SH30897.01 is a highly effective, ready-to-use antifoaming solution designed to optimize gas exchange and prevent overflow in agitated cell culture systems. Formulated with a 3% active simethicone emulsion, it actively lowers fluid surface tension to destroy existing foam and prevent new bubbles from forming during aggressive sparging. Because thick emulsions are notoriously difficult to filter, this product is pre-sterilized via validated gamma-irradiation and packaged in a sealed, single-use bag. Pre-fitted with standardized tubing and luer lock connections, it allows researchers to aseptically hook the antifoam directly into their bioreactor feed lines, completely bypassing the contamination risks associated with manual preparation and in-house autoclaving.

Technical Performance and Design

  • 3% Active Simethicone: The high-efficiency emulsion immediately breaks down surface foam without inhibiting cell growth, ensuring continuous, optimal oxygen transfer in dense cultures.

  • Single-Use Bag Assembly: Supplied in a flexible 1 L bag pre-fitted with 56 cm of silicone tubing, 107 cm of C-Flex tubing, and female luer lock connections, allowing for direct, sterile integration into closed-system bioreactors.

  • Validated Gamma-Irradiation: Pre-sterilized to a highly controlled SAL of 10^-6, completely bypassing the physical labor and volume loss associated with autoclaving viscous antifoam emulsions in the lab.

  • ADCF Certification: 100% free of animal-derived components, significantly reducing batch-to-batch variability and eliminating the risk of adventitious viral or prion contamination.
