Media and Supplements for Mesenchymal Stem Cells

StemXVivo™ Media for Mesenchymal Cell Culture

Culture media specifically optimized for use with mesenchymal stem cells.

Researchers employing stem or progenitor cells in their studies currently use a wide variety of media products to support their cultures. These media are generally developed or validated for cells other than stem cells, thus making them less desirable than cell type-specific media. To address this need, R&D Systems offers StemXVivo media products specifically designed for stem/progenitor cell culture. All the components included within these defined basal formulations have been selected, optimized, and validated for mesenchymal stem cell culture.

Phenotypic Analysis of Human MSCs by Flow Cytometry

Phenotypic Analysis of Human MSCs by Flow Cytometry. MSCs were expanded using StemXVivo MSC Expansion Media (Catalog # CCM004). Gray histograms indicate cells stained with markers of undifferentiated MSCs including anti-CD105 (Catalog # FAB10971P) or CD90 (Catalog # FAB2067P). The open histograms show isotype-matched control staining. MSCs lack expression of CD34.
