Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cell Starter Kit

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC), also known as marrow stromal cells, are a self renewing population of multipotent cells present in bone marrow and many other adult tissues. MSC can be isolated from bone marrow by adherence to plastic and can differentiate into multiple lineage-specific cells that form bone, fat, cartilage, muscle, and tendon. Trevigen's RMSC are provided as a frozen ampoule containing 1 x 106 passage 3 cells. These cells can be maintained in an undifferentiated state when grown in Trevigen's Qualified RMSC Medium supplemented with RMSC qualified FBS or induced to differentiate into adipogenic or osteogenic phenotype when growth media are supplemented with reagents contained in Trevigen's differentiation kits. Trevigen's RMSC can undergo 10 doublings without alteration in cell morphology or differentiation potential.

Features: Primary Mesenchymal Stem Cells isolated and purified from Rat Bone Marrow plus qualified medium and serum to support undifferentiated growth.
 
Applications: Therapeutic and basic research, including transplantation studies and studies examining the repair of cardiac tissue, bone, cartilage, and tendons often using 3-D matrices.
 
Components: Part # Component1 Size
  5000-001-01 Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells 1 vial (1 x 106 Cells)
  5000-500-03 Qualified RMSC Medium 500 ml
  5000-050-02 Qualified RMSC FBS 50 ml
 
Storage: Components are stored in liquid nitrogen and at -20°C and at 4°C. For the RMSC, immediately thaw for use or for long term storage place in vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. For the qualified RMSC FBS, aliquot to avoid repeated freeze/thaws. FBS should be thawed at 4ºC overnight prior to first use.
