Stemcell, 05513, MesenCult™ Expansion Kit (Mouse)

MesenCult™ Expansion Kit (Mouse) is standardized for the culture of mouse mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs; also known as mesenchymal stem cells) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The kit includes MesenCult™ Basal Medium (Mouse), MesenCult™ 10X Supplement (Mouse), and MesenPure™. MesenCult™ Expansion Medium has been optimized for the derivation and expansion of mouse MSCs and MEFs in vitro as well as for the detection of colony-forming unit–fibroblasts (CFU­F). This kit was optimized using cells from the mouse strain C57BL/6.

To facilitate the enrichment of MSCs and MEFs during cell culture without serial passaging and frequent medium changes, simply add MesenPure™ to complete MesenCult™ Expansion Medium just prior to use. Although not required, the addition of MesenPure™ is strongly recommended, as the resulting MSC and MEF cultures are more homogeneous and exhibit more robust proliferation, differentiation, and colony formation when compared to complete MesenCult™ Expansion Medium alone.

NOTE: MesenCult™ Expansion Medium must be supplemented with L-Glutamine (Catalog #07100).
