Merck, SCM003, Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium

General description
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 will result in the spontaneous differentiation of rodent neural stem cells.
Application
The Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium is a defined serum-free, growth factor-free medium that has been optimized for the growth & in vitro differentiation of neural stem cells derived from rodents.
Preparation Note
Store at -20°C until ready to use. Upon thawing, the basal medium should be stored at 2-8°C for up to one month.
Analysis Note
Each lot of medium is tested for the optimal cell growth, proliferation and differentiation of both rat and mouse neural stem cells. Sterility Testing: Negative; Osmolarity: 299; pH: 7.4
