General description

FibroGRO Xeno-Free Human Fibroblast Expansion Medium is a new variation of our FibroGRO cell culture media that is optimized for the culture of fibroblasts without the use of animal-derived components. EMD Millipore’s FibroGRO cell system is perfect for establishing Xeno-Free human feeder layers for induced pluripotent, embryonic, and general stem cell culture. It can also be used to establish a model to study wound healing, toxicology and basic cell biology. FibroGRO Xeno Free supports the growth of these cells in a 2% human serum environment at rates equal to or greater than comparable media supplemented with 2-10% FBS. Our FibroGRO Xeno-Free media does not contain any antimicrobials, phenol red, or any other components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may influence experimental results.
