PowerStem MSC1, Serum-free medium for human mesenchymal stem cells (huMSC)

PowerStem MSC1 is an easy to use xeno-free medium without animal derived components (ADCF) for cultivation and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). PowerStem MSC1 is especially designed for the proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells without differentiation. PowerStem MSC1 supports longterm growth of MSC and preserves their multi-lineage potential. In addition, MSC cultured in PowerStem MSC1 expands faster and shows a significant reduction in hematopoietic cell contamination at early passages compared to serum-based media. To differentiate the proliferated MSC into different cells types the relevant protocols and differentiation factors should be used.

Both the PowerStem MSC1 basal medium and two PowerStem MSC1 growth supplements are guaranteed stable for 12 months when properly stored. PowerStem MSC1 complete medium (basal + supplements) is stable for 1 month when stored in the dark at 2-8° C. We do not recommend using the complete medium beyond one month. Do not freeze complete PowerStem MSC1 medium.

PowerStem MSC1 contains salts, amino acids, trace elements, hormones, growth factors, and enriched human proteins and lipids in an optimized formulation. PowerStem MSC1 is free of animal derived components (ADCF).

Serum-free cultivation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) while maintaining the undifferentiated state and multi-lineage potential.

PowerStem MSC1 allows the cultivation of human mesenchymal stem cells under serum-free conditions. It is free of animal or human serum and thus enables constant and comparable experimental conditions resulting in highly reproducible data. PowerStem MSC1 is completely free of animal components (ADCF) and thus suitable for a research approach in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. By adding specific differentiation factors, MSC can differentiated in vitro to the desired cell types (bone, cartilage, adipose tissue etc.).
