) announced today that Celliance, its wholly-owned subsidiary, has introduced Onco-CYTE(TM). Onco-CYTE(TM) is a serum-free, ready-to-use formulation that replaces Fetal Bovine Serum Fetal bovine serum ( or foetal bovine serum) is serum taken from the fetuses of cows. Fetal Bovine Serum (or FBS) is the most widely used serum in the culturing of cells. In some papers the expression foetal calf serum is used.  (FBS FBS

) in suspension culture for a variety of cancer cell lines in research and bioprocessing applications.

Onco-CYTE(TM) is the second product to be added to the EX-CYTE(R) family of products. EX-CYTE(R) is the largest selling serum-free cell culture supplement. Hybri-CYTE(TM), launched in February 2005, was the first in a new line of serum-free cell culture supplements in the EX-CYTE(R) product line.

Onco-CYTE(TM) is an easy-to-use product that will completely replace FBS and is optimized for specific cell lines. It matches the performance of FBS for cancer cells grown in suspension and eliminates some of the challenges associated with FBS, such as lot-to-lot variability, validating, sourcing and multiple-lot storing.

"Cancer cell lines are widely used by academic research laboratories and companies developing cancer therapeutic products," said David L. Bellitt, President of Celliance. "We think there is great market potential for FBS replacement in cancer cell lines. We are excited about the sales opportunities for Onco-CYTE(TM)."

Onco-CYTE(TM) contains several of Celliance's leading products including EX-CYTE(R), the largest serum-free cell culture supplement, Incelligent(TM) recombinant human insulin Noun 1. recombinant human insulin - a form of insulin (trade name Humulin) made from recombinant DNA that is identical to human insulin; used to treat diabetics who are allergic to preparations made from beef or pork insulin
