General description
The Rat Neural Stem Cell Expansion Medium is provided as a two-component system that is convenient and easy to use. This product includes the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium, a defined serum-free medium that has been optimized for the growth and in vitro differentiation of neural stem cells derived from rodents. A solution of basic FGF-2 growth factor is also provided separately, which when added to the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium allows for the growth and proliferation of rat neural stem cells. Withdrawal of bFGF-2 from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium will result in the spontaneous differentiation of rat neural stem cells.
Components
Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium (Cat.# SCM003), 500 mL bFGF, 10 ug
Quality
Each lot of medium is tested for the optimal cell growth, proliferation and differentiation of mouse neural stem cells. Sterility Testing: Negative; Osmolarity: 299; pH: 7.4
Storage and Stability
Part number SCM003, the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium should be stored at -20°C until ready to use. Upon thawing, the basal medium should be stored at 2-8°C for up to one month.FGF-2 (10 µg, lyophilized) should be reconstituted with 100 µL 5 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.6 for a final concentration of 100 µg/mL. Dispense into aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw. Store at -20°C for up to six months. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for future use. Multiple freeze/thaw cycles will result in significant loss of activity.
