PrimaPure Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells ( RMSC) are isolated from adult or fetal bone marrow. They are cryopreserved at second passage and can be cultured and propagated for 10 population doublings.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into cells of various connective tissue lineages, such as bone, cartilage, fat, and neurons. The potential of MSCs to maintain multipotency and proliferate extensively in vitro provides new avenues for cell-based therapy in the restoration of damaged or diseased tissue.
Each lot of PrimaPure MSC¿s is tested for its ability to attach and spread on standard tissue culture grade plastic surfaces and proliferate in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Medium. Additionally, each lot is characterized for bone mineralization and lipid accumulation following differentiation using osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation media, repectively.

Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Medium
SR49205 (cells only)
SR49205K (complete kit*)
* Each Complete System contains an ampoule of cryopreserved cells (> 500,000 cells), 500 ml of mesenchymal stem cell growth medium, and a Subculture Reagent Kit (including 100 ml each of HEPES Buffered Saline Solution, Trypsin/EDTA, and Trypsin Neutralizing Solution).
Cells are cryopreserved immediately after purification and delivered on dry ice. Place cryovials immediately in liquid nitrogen upon arrival. Store the growth medium at 4°C in the dark. Store the subculture reagent at -20°C upon receipt and at 4°C upon thawing
