HFCS

The Uses of HFCS

Hybridoma Fusion and Cloning Supplement (HFCS) is used as a supplement to the normal culture medium to support the growth of B-cell hybridomas after fusion and during cloning. HFCS replaces feeder cells. It is also used to optimize the growth of hybridomas after the thawing of cells stored in liquid nitrogen.
