Dear Customer:

The current international situation is complex and volatile, and uncertain tariff policies may potentially impact our product prices. Given these uncertainties, we value your understanding regarding order-related matters.

If you decide to place an order during this period, we reserve the right to adjust the price based on the evolving situation. We understand that market changes may cause inconvenience. We will negotiate with you if there’s a significant price fluctuation due to tariff policy changes before the order’s actual delivery, and in such cases we may adjust or cancel the order as necessary.

We are planning system maintenance between Friday, Apr 11 at 9:00 PM CDT and Saturday, Apr 12 at 9:00 AM CDT. This will impact both web and offline transactions, including online orders, quotes, price and availability checks, and order status inquiries. We apologize for any inconvenience.

General description

ENStem-A Neural Expansion Medium is a defined serum-free formulation that has been optimized for the culture and expansion of ENStem-A Human Neural Progenitor Cells. When used in conjunction with L-Glutamine (not provided) and FGF-2 (provided), the expansion medium will allow for the maintenance and proliferation of ENStem-ATM Human Neural Progenitor Cells.

Application

Cell culture protocols for use with ENStem-A Human Neural Progenitor Cells are available in the datasheet that accompanies the ENStem-A Human Neural Progenitor Expansion Kit (Cat. No. SCR055).

Quality

Each lot of medium is tested for the optimal cell growth and proliferation of ENStem-ATM Human Neural Progenitor Cells.
Sterility Testing: Negative

Physical form

ENStem-ATM Neural Expansion Medium contains neurobasal medium, B27 supplement, and LIF.

Preparation Note

ENStem-A Neural Expansion Medium, 500 mL (Part No. SCM004a)

FGF-2, 50ug, lyophilized (Part No. GF003)

Storage and Stability

ENStem-ATM Neural Expansion Medium should be stored at -20°C until ready to use. Upon thawing, fresh L-Glutamine (not provided) should be added for a final concentration of 2 mM to the expansion medium. Thawed should be stored at 2-8°C and given a 1-month expiration dating. Dispense into aliquots to avoid repeated heating prior to each use.

FGF-2 (10 μg, lyophilized) should be reconstituted with 100 μL 5 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.6 for a final concentration of 100 μg/mL. Dispense into aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw. Store at -20°C.
