Cell culture media containing a sterol such as cholesterol stabilized by surfactant rather than serum products or phospholspid micelles and containing soluble carboxylic acids as fatty acid precursors to satisfy lipid requirements are further enhanced by the presence of alcohols promoting cell growth.

Serum-free cell culture media

Serum-free growth medium comprising an iron-chelate, aurin-tricarboxylic acid and optionally alkali-metal-EDTA and trace elements together with possible growth factors, wherein the iron-chelate may comprise a mixture of Fe-EDTA and citric acid. The growth medium may be used for quality testing of other growth media, optionally together with a hybridoma cell line from p.sub.3 U.sub.1 tumor cells and B-lymphocytes, which hybridoma also is disclosed.
