100% Antifoam 204 is a liquid antifoam additive for aqueous systems used in bioprocessing, fermentation, and cell culture workflows. It is commonly introduced into media, feeds, and buffers to control foam during mixing, aeration, and pumping. Typical applications include microbial fermentations of E. coli and yeast, as well as mammalian and insect cell culture processes, where excessive foam can interfere with vessel headspace management and gas exchange.

The material disperses readily in water-based solutions and can be incorporated before or during processing. It is compatible with routine sterilization by filtration or autoclaving when handled according to established laboratory procedures. 100% Antifoam 204 is suitable for use in bench, pilot, and manufacturing-scale systems employing stirred tanks, shake flasks, and single-use bioreactors.

  • 100% Antifoam 204
  • Bioreactor and Fermenter Foam Control: Suppresses foam in aerobic cultivations of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and other microbes to maintain aeration and sensor accuracy using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Shake Flask and Microplate Cultures: Minimizes foaming in orbital shakers for consistent oxygen transfer and volume accuracy in microbial growth experiments using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Mammalian and Insect Cell Culture: Reduces foam in CHO, HEK, and Sf9 cultures to protect cells from shear and maintain viable growth with 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Media Preparation and Sterilization: Prevents boil-over and foam during autoclaving or heating of culture media and buffers with 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Protein Expression and Production: Controls foam during high-density microbial expression (e.g., Escherichia coli) and secreted protein processes to stabilize yields using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Downstream Processing: Limits foam in clarification, centrifugation, and filtration steps to improve throughput and reduce pump cavitation using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Chromatography Operations: Decreases bubble formation in FPLC/HPLC pumps, tubing, and columns to maintain stable baselines and flow with 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Automated Liquid Handling and High-Throughput Screening: Reduces bubble-related pipetting errors and meniscus artifacts in plates using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Fermentation of Difficult-To-Express Strains: Aids consistent aeration and foam control in cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Lactobacillus spp. using 100% Antifoam 204.

  • Waste and Effluent Defoaming: Controls foam in biowaste containers, CIP return lines, and holding tanks in pilot and production settings with 100% Antifoam 204.
