NB-ROC™ T Cell SF Media
Speed your time to the clinic and create a more potent CAR T-cell therapy with NB-ROC, a xeno-free, serum-free T cell culture media that can significantly boost transduction efficiency.

The NB-ROC™ Advantage

Boost Transduction Efficiency

Lower Manufacturing Cost
Decrease the amount of viral vector used in your CAR-T process, which can result in reduced cost and increased safety of the final therapeutic dose.

Maintain Key Quality Indicators
Maximize T Cell Performance
The right media can ease development challenges and impact speed, cost, and quality of the therapeutic dose. NB-ROC is optimized for CAR-T cell therapy development, primarily focused on significantly improving transduction, while maintaining all other critical attributes.

Significantly Improves Transduction Efficiency
Combining NB-ROC with 2% Physiologix (NP), a serum-free complete media, improves transduction efficiency when compared to OpTmizer™ + 5% Human Serum (OH) and OpTmizer + 2% Physiologix (OP). Data shown represents average of 3 donors ±SD in a G-Rex® model.

Promotes Strong T Cell Growth
NB-ROC + 2% Physiologix (NP) supports strong population doubling equivalent to OpTmizer™ + 5% Human Serum (OH) and OpTmizer + 2% Physiologix (OP). Proliferation, cell health, viability, and maintenance of relevant phenotypes (assessed but not shown) are also comparable. Data shown represents average of 3 donors ±SD in a G-Rex® model.

Increases CAR+ Cells in Your Therapeutic Dose
NB-ROC increases efficacious cells in your process. Using GFP as a marker of lentiviral transduction, NB-ROC + 2% Physiologix (NP) shows significantly higher numbers of transfected cells compared to OpTmizer™ + 5% Human Serum (OH) and OpTmizer + 2% Physiologix (OP) after 7 days of culture. Data shown represents average of 3 donors ±SD in a G-Rex® model.

FAQs
What is NB-ROC™ T Cell Serum-Free Medium?
NB-ROC is a T cell serum-free media that significantly boosts transduction efficiency while maintaining proliferation and preserving relevant phenotypes to support the development of CAR-T cell therapies.
Have you tested NB-ROC™ with other cell types?
Does NB-ROC™ only work when supplemented with Physiologix™?
NB-ROC can be supplemented with a variety of proteins including human serum. To achieve up to threefold improvement in transduction efficiency, however, Physiologix must be used.
Physiologix is a serum replacement created by Nucleus Biologics that is recommended for its xeno-free and serum-free properties, as well as its enhanced synergy with NB-ROC. To achieve the highest transduction efficiency possible, consider supplementing with Physiologix.
Has NB-ROC™ been tested with other activation materials?
NB-ROC has only been tested with Dynabead activation.
Can I customize NB-ROC™?
NB-ROC can be customized through formulation services and licensing.
