Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Antifoam SE-15 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._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Antifoam SE-15 has been used in the preparation of ramified rolling circle amplification (RAM) amplification buffer. It has also been used to find its effects on cell viability, virus infectivity and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) performance._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 100, 500 g in glass bottle_x000D_ Components_x000D_ Antifoam SE-15 is an aqueous emulsion containing 10% active silicon and non-ionic emulsifiers ._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Antifoam SE-15 can be pre-diluted with 3-10 parts of cool water to aid in dispersion. Pre-diluted_x000D_ suspensions should be used immediately.
