Description
Start your neural workflow confidently with high-quality, ready-to-use human neural progenitor cells (NPCs). These specially cryopreserved central nervous system (CNS)-type progenitors are differentiated from the human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) control line, SCTi003-A, which is derived from healthy female donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Ready to use directly from thawing, these human NPCs are multipotent and suitable for customized downstream differentiation to various CNS cell types, such as forebrain neurons, midbrain neurons, and astrocytes, using STEMdiff™ kits.
To ensure high-quality cells, these NPCs were differentiated from the robust, extensively tested SCTi003-A line using serum-free STEMdiff™ SMADi Neural Induction Kit. NPCs can be expanded using STEMdiff™ Neural Progenitor Medium, allowing for scale-up and reducing the cost of workflows that require large numbers of cells. Cryopreserve expanded NPCs using STEMdiff™ Neural Progenitor Freezing Medium for flexibility in your experimental schedule.
This research-use-only (RUO) product has been consented for both academic and commercial use. Blood samples are ethically sourced using Institutional Review Board (IRB) or other regulatory authority-approved consent forms and protocols. For donor details and cell quality characterization of the source cell banks, refer to the data figures on this page. SCTi003-A is derived from an αβ T cell and has undergone VDJ sequence rearrangement. It is karyotypically stable, demonstrates trilineage differentiation potential, expresses undifferentiated cell markers, and was reprogrammed using a non-integrating reprogramming technology. Registration with hPSCreg® ensures ethical and biological conformity based on community standards. For additional details, refer to the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and Frequently Asked Questions about iPSC lines.
