Our MSC-Qualified FBS is designed to eliminate the need for you to test multiple FBS lots to identify the optimal one for MSC research. Specially tested to support the expansion and clonal enumeration (by colony forming unit-fibroblast assay) of MSCs
- Performance-tested using standard 14-day MSC CFU-F assay
- Each lot is tested against an in-house FBS reference standard using cells from a master cell bank of MSCs from normal bone marrow donors, which helps ensure lot-to-lot consistency
Ideally for researchers studying…*
- Mesenchymal stem cells
- Mesenchymal stromal cells
- Osteogenesis
- Chondrogenesis and cartilage
- Collagen and other extracellular matrices (ECM)
- Adipose tissue and adipogenesis
