The NB-ROC™ Advantage

Boost-transduction-efficiency-GIF
Boost Transduction Efficiency
Yield more CAR+ cells at lower viral MOI to maximize the number of CAR+ cells in your therapeutic dose, which has shown to improve outcomes.
Lower-manufacturing-cost-GIF
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.

Maintains-key-quality-indicators-GIF
Maintain Key Quality Indicators
Promotes proliferation and population doubling, and maintains desired phenotypes and all other quality indicators, like cell health and viability.

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.

NB-ROC OH vs OP vs NP graph

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.

NB-ROC Graph 2

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.

NB-ROC Graph 03

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.

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?
Currently, we have only tested NB-ROC on T cells but would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with our customers to test NB-ROC in other models. Contact us or reach out directly to your Technical Sales Specialist to discuss a collaboration.
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.

Is NB-ROC™ available in different formats?
Though NB-ROC is sold in a default 1L bottle with a supplement, Nucleus Biologics is committed to bringing you media the way you need it — be it larger volumes, bags, or even pods. Contact us to discuss the customization of NB-ROC.
