描述
Reduce variability in your human mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC; also known as mesenchymal stem cell) cultures and improve experimental reproducibility by using this animal component-free (ACF) and extracellular vesicle (EV)-free medium. MesenCult™-ACF Plus Medium is optimized so you can derive human MSCs from multiple sources, such as bone marrow or adipose tissue, without serum.
Compared to serum-containing or EV-depleted serum-containing media, MSCs cultured with this kit expand more efficiently (rate and cumulative cell total) and without compromising function. The cultured cells exhibit characteristic MSC surface marker expression and retain robust expansion rate and trilineage differentiation capacities.
This kit is part of a complete ACF workflow—for deriving, expanding, and cryopreserving MSCs, as well as differentiating human pluripotent stem cells into mesenchymal progenitors—that is optimized for efficient and consistent MSC cultures.
For animal component-free and optimized cryopreservation, MesenCult™-ACF Freezing Medium (Catalog #05490) is recommended for human MSCs previously cultured in MesenCult™ media, including MesenCult™-ACF Plus.

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