Application

Antifoam A concentrate has been used in bioreactor culture for Staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) production.

Components

Antifoam A is a 100% active silicon polymer containing no non-ionic emulsifiers .

General description

Antifoam A is a silicone-based product used to prevent or minimize foaming in both microbial fermentation systems and mammalian suspension cultures. Control of foaming minimizes damage to the cells, resulting in increased protein/antibody production. Extremely effective for aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Effective at concentrations in the 1-50ppm range.

Packaging

100 g in glass bottle

Preparation Note

Antifoam A can be pre-diluted with 3-10 parts of aqueous propylene glycol or non-aqueous vegetable oil with slow mixing.
