This unique formulation of cell culture freezing media is for cryopreservation of a broad spectrum of mammalian cells (see viability data)and is ES cell qualified. Freezing Media contain 10% of the active cryopreservation ingredient (either DMSO or Glycerol). The remaining 90% is a proprietary mixture of Calf and Fetal Bovine Serum. The reagents used in these products are certified to be virus and mycoplasma free. The sera ut…

The maintanence, expansion, and assay of many stem cell and precursor cell cultures relies on media rich in a variety of factors, often supplied by fetal bovine serum (FBS). Such sera must be carefully controlled and tested. Specialty Media utilizes sera that are approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure that sera are free of diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). A Certificate…

PMEF feeders are treated with Mitomycin-C and can be directly plated onto gelatin coated (See ES-006-B) culture vessels. These cells are from passage 3. 5-6 x 106 cells will produce the appropriate density feeder layer on the following tissue culture vessels

PMEF-CFL are Primary Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts that have NOT been mitotically arrested. The cells are provided at passage 3 and can be further expanded for about 5-6 passages and frozen for later use.

PMEF feeders are treated with Mitomycin-C and can be directly plated onto gelatin coated culture vessels. These cells are from passage 3. 5-6 x 106 cells will produce the appropriate density feeder layer on the following tissue culture vessels:

PMEF-HL are Hygromycin resistant Primary Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts that have NOT been mitotically arrested. The cells are provided at passage 3 and can be further expanded before freezing for later use.

PMEF-NL are Neomycin resistant Primary Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts that have NOT been mitotically arrested. The cells are provided at passage 3 and can be further expanded for about 5-6 passages and frozen for later use. See ES Stem Cell Manual for complete culture and media for PMEF cells.

RESGRO Culture Medium is a complete ready-to-use product that can be utilized to complement traditional murine Embryonic Stem (ES) cell culture media containing ESGRO® murine LIF medium supplement. In contrast to routine ES cell culture using ESGRO® supplemented medium, RESGRO Culture Medium is recommended for a number of specialized applications.

The Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium is a defined serum-free, growth factor-free medium that has been optimized for the growth and in vitro differentiation of neural stem cells derived from rodents. When used in conjunction with bFGF or bFGF, EGF and heparin, the basal medium will allow for the proliferation of rat and mouse neural stem cells, respectively. Withdrawal of the growth factors from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium w…

The Mouse Neural Stem Cell Expansion Medium allows for the growth and proliferation of mouse neural stem cells. This product includes the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium and the supplements bFGF, EGF, and Heparin. Withdrawal of the growth factors and heparin from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium will result in the spontaneous differentiation of mouse neural stem cells.

MilliTrace Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Expansion Medium is a complete ready-to-use expansion medium optimized for the culture of MilliTrace GFP Reporter Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. Puromycin Solution is provided to help maintain the expression of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled transgene.

The Cardiac Stem Cell Maintenance Medium has been optimized and qualified for the growth and expansion of cardiac stem cells derived from rodent origins. Cells expanded in Cardiac Stem Cell Maintenance Medium express the correct cardiac stem cell markers and are furthermore capable of differentiating into cardiomyocytes.

The PluriStem™ 129S6 Murine ES cell line is derived from the widely used 129/S6/SvEv strain of mice (at 3.5 days p.c.) and is intended for injection into black or albino host blastocysts. This cell line is characterized by the production of highly chimeric, germline-competent mice. Cells are supplied at passage 10.

A highly efficient method of gene trasfer into mammalian cells is through infection with retroviral vectors. The efficiency of retroviral infection is enhanced significantly, 100 to 1,000 fold in some cells, by including polybrene during the infection. Polybrene with DMSO shock is also used to mediate DNA transfer into a variety of cell types, such as: CHO, chicken embryo fibroblases, NIH3T3 cells, and myeloid cells.
