Gibco™ StemPro™ NSC SFM Kit

Gibco™ StemPro™ NSC Serum-Free Medium (SFM) is a specialized, complete culture system developed for the growth, maintenance, and expansion of human neural stem cells (NSCs). Designed to support consistent proliferation while preserving the cells’ multipotent differentiation potential, this serum-free medium enables researchers to generate high yields of NSCs across multiple passages.

StemPro™ NSC SFM is supplied as a complete kit, eliminating the need for additional supplementation. The system combines KnockOut™ DMEM/F-12 basal medium, StemPro™ NSC SFM supplement, and recombinant growth factors (FGF basic and EGF) to provide optimal conditions for neural stem cell culture. The formulation includes the StemPro Neural Supplement, an optimized combination derived from N-2 and B-27 supplements to enhance neural stem cell proliferation and stability.

This medium supports both adherent culture systems and neurosphere suspension cultures, offering flexibility for various experimental workflows. Manufactured under cGMP standards, each lot is validated using a human neural stem cell proliferation assay, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for advanced stem cell research.
