Water For Injection (WFI) for Cell Culture

Gibco™ Water For Injection (WFI) for Cell Culture is high-quality water for use as a solvent in the preparation of cell culture media, laboratory reagents, buffers, and bioprocess liquids.

Some features of WFI for Cell Culture include:
• Water For Injection and USP/EP quality
• Gibco quality and performance
• Can be used in cell culture, molecular biology, and upstream and downstream bioprocessing applications

Water For Injection quality
WFI for Cell Culture meets USP/EP monograph for Water For Injection at point of fill. The water is prepared by distillation and filtration (0.1 μm), with no added substances. Water quality is monitored on a routine basis. Conductivity, total organic carbon, endotoxin, and bioburden are tested daily; metals are tested monthly.

Gibco quality and performance
The performance and consistency expected from Gibco liquid media products depends on the high-quality water used in manufacturing. This water is packaged in bottles and CX5-14 bioprocess containers as Gibco Water For Injection (WFI) for Cell Culture. In addition to meeting USP/EP standards, each lot is quality tested for sterility, endotoxin, conductivity, pH, osmolality, nitrates, and total organic carbon.

Use in cell culture and molecular biology applications
WFI for Cell Culture can be used for a wide variety of applications, including preparing powder or Advanced Granulation Technology™ (AGT™) media, making solutions, diluting buffers, and cleaning and rinsing agents.

Product use
For use as a raw material component in further manufacturing applications.

cGMP manufacturing and quality system
WFI for Cell Culture is manufactured at cGMP-compliant facilities located in Grand Island, New York and Inchinnan, Scotland. Both facilities are certified to ISO 13485 cGMP manufacturing standards.
