The invention discloses a CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cell serum-free medium. The culture medium comprises main components such as amino acids, inorganic salt components, vitamins, trace elements, yeast hydrolysates, albumin and the like. The CHO cell serum-free medium disclosed by the invention does not contain any serum components and animal-derived components, and is increased in affinity compared with that of other serum-free mediums. Cells can be directly inoculated into the serum-free medium from a serum culture medium or other serum-free mediums and grow normally, thus eliminating a cumbersome domestication process. By adopting the CHO cell serum-free medium, the growth density and the viability of CHO cells are improved, the tolerance of the cells therein is increased, the growth platform maintenance time is prolonged, most importantly, the ability of CHO engineering cells to express foreign proteins in the CHO cell serum-free medium is improved, and the product yield is greatly enhanced.
