MSC NutriStem®, a complete xeno-free, serum-free system for the growth and expansion of hMSCs

MSC NutriStem® XF Medium

REDEFINING STEM CELL EXCELLENCE AND ADVANCING CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

A defined, serum-free and xeno-free culture system optimized for the growth and expansion of hMSCs from a variety of sources: placenta (hMSC-PL), adipose-tissue (hMSC-AT), Wharton jelly (hMSC-WJ) and bone marrow (hMSC-BM). NutriStem® MSC culture system is developed specifically for the attachment, dissociation and freezing, as well as enabling long-term growth of hMSCs while retaining self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation potential.

Defined, serum-free, xeno-free reagents are essential tools for all human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) research having potential clinical applications. The NutriStem® MSC Culture System includes defined reagents ideal for translational research use.

hMSCs cultured in serum-free, xeno-free MSC NutriStem® XF Medium show superior proliferation and self-renewal potential in comparison to serum-containing media and other serum-free media. In addition, hMSCs maintain their proper fibroblast-like cell morphology, tri-lineage differentiation potential, and demonstrate normal hMSC marker profiles and karyotypic stability over long-term culture.

Features

•    Serum-Free (SF), Xeno-Free (XF), defined formulation

•    Drug Master File (DMF) available

•    hMSCs demonstrate superior proliferation

•    Supports long-term growth and self-renewal of hMSCs from multiple sources

•    Proper hMSC characteristics and multilineage differentiation potential are maintained over long-term culture

•    hMSCs express high percentage of MSC surface markers and do not express hematopoeitic markers 

•    Complete media kit; no additional supplements are required

Cells cultured in serum-containing medium do not require an adaptation phase when transitioning to serum-free MSC NutriStem® XF Medium.

Initial Isolation:

hMSC from various sources (hMSC-PL, hMSC-AT, hMSC-WJ, hMSC-BM) can be efficiently isolated using MSC NutriStem® XF on pre-coated dishes. Addition of 2-2.5% human AB serum may be required for certain tissues. Using MSC NutriStem® XF for isolation of hMSC enhances purity of MSC populations in earlier passages and increases the number of hMSC in comparison to FBS-containing medium.

Expansion:

hMSC cultured in MSC NutriStem® XF exhibit a high proliferation rate and long term growth in comparison to competitors’ media (see figure 2).

MSC NutriStem® XF is optimized for hMSC from various sources

MSC NutriStem® XF promotes proliferation of hMSC from a variety of sources while maintaining normal fibroblast-like, spindle shape cell morphology (see figure 3).

hMSC Differentiation potential

hMSC cultured in MSC NutriStem® XF maintain their trilineage differentiation potential (see figure 4).
