Overall, we have not seen significant differences in cell health and growth between recombinant and native supplements. However, there are particular instances where we have seen better growth kinetics in the blood-free media versus xeno-free SFM and serum-containing media. This is due to the presence of undefined components in native supplements that are actually having adverse effects on cell growth.
