Human ES/iPS Neural Induction Medium

EMD Millipore′s Human ES/iPS Neural Induction Mediium is an serum free/cheimcally defined optimized media for the rapid production of expandable neural progenitor cells from pluripotent human ES and iPS cells. The media relies on both small molecules neural inducers and supplements to generate a highly enriched population of expandable neural progenitors based on establish protocols. Neural progenitors are generated 10 days from starting cultures of traditional feeder-based and/or feeder-free cultures of undifferentiated human ES/iPS cells and can be expanded for over 3-5 passages resulting in a minimum 20-fold expansion. Typically, from 1 well of a 6-well plate containing an estimated 500,000 pluripotent human ES/iPS, approximately 5-10 million neural progenitors can be obtained after 3 passages. The resulting neural progenitor cells are multipotent and can be further differentiated to specific neural cell subtypes of interest.
