General

Foetal Bovine Serum, pre-tested on embryonic stem cells is specially tested for the ability to sustain undifferentiated cellular morphology of embryonic stem cells. For testing the mouse ES cell line D3 is cultivated in the presence of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The screening includes plating efficiency, colony morphology and toxicity tests.

Applications

  • Supports the growth of undifferentiated colonies of ES cells
  • Recommended for most primary cells
  • For low unspecific stimulation

Features

  • Special serum batches preselected by the colony morphology and the expression of different stem cell markers
  • Low endotoxin content
  • Tested for viruses and microorganisms
