    For the CBA results shown in Figure 2, Chinese Hampster Ovary (CHO) cells from an Amgen proprietary cell line were grown in 24-deepwell plates, using media (1.5 L) held in 10 L capacity bags for 3 days at 37 °C. Further CBA details can be found in Hammond et al. (19).

    In fact, the close overlap between dose response curves generated by bDtBPP spiking versus bDtBPP leached from bags in CBA tests demonstrates other potential leachables are not affecting CBA growth results. That is, bDtBPP leaching alone explains the observed growth curves.
