General description
Antifoam Y-30 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.
Application
Suitable for preventing or minimizing foaming in microbial fermentation systems and mammalian suspension cultures.
Components
Antifoam Y-30 is an aqueous emulsion containing 30% active silicon and non-ionic emulsifiers .
Preparation Note
Antifoam Y-30 can be pre-diluted with 3-10 parts of cool water to aid in dispersion. Pre-diluted suspensions should be used immediately.
