Figure 1 . Modular media development can be broadly applicable, easily applied, and systematically executed to improve measurable phenotypes of interest.
A) Estimate of the ratios of component solubility to their concentrations in medium demonstrates that most components are soluble at >10x their concentration in the CHO medium, eRDF. B) With the exception of some classes of medium components, such as vitamins, most media components can be formulated into solutions that remain stable for >6 months under proper storage conditions. C) Overview of time, labor and planning saved by using Openblend to automate modular media construction. D) Overview of a modular media optimization approach, which can be used to build an optimized medium for any measurable phenotype of interest systematically.
