iPS and stem cell maintenance media
9 listings from 6 suppliers · 2 Japanese makers
Japanese name: iPS・幹細胞 未分化維持培地
Maintenance media for iPS and ES cells expand the cells while keeping them undifferentiated, and so affect the quality of the cell source that regenerative medicine development starts from. Composition design, such as feeder-free and xeno-free formulations, is a key criterion for buyers looking ahead to clinical use. Maintenance media from the main stem cell suppliers are listed, with the products each offers.
