Serum-FreeMesenchymalStemCellCultureMediumWorld’sfirstserum-freemediumtoallowtheisolationandmaintenanceofhumanMesenchymalStemCells(MSCs).
Objective: Available for licensing
Highlights: • Only serum-free medium to allow isolation of MSCs from bone marrow. • Superior performance to current cell culture media on the market. • Serum-free, chemically-defined medium avoiding potential contamination and disease transmission through serum usage. • Patent pending.
Animal serum is currently used to grow MSCs. This is problematic as this can lead to transmission of animal disease contaminating the cells; similarly there is a growing shortage worldwide of suitable serum for this purpose. This technology provides the only growth medium to allow isolation and growth of MSCs without the need for serum, providing a revolutionary safe and effective method for their production in this fast growing multi-million Euro market.
