Mouse ES Cell Basal Medium

SCRR-2011

ATCC Mouse ES Cell Basal Medium is a sterile liquid tissue culture medium containing phenol red that has been optimized to support the undifferentiated self-renewal cycle related to mouse embryonic stem cell growth. The medium contains a stable glutamine dipeptide, providing a long shelf-life when handled and stored properly. The medium may be supplemented by the addition of ES-Cell Qualified Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or a serum replacement designed for mouse ES cells. This medium can support the growth of mouse ES cells on either a mitotically inactivated layer of mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells, or in a feeder-free environment using gelatin-coated plates.

Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
General culture conditions to maintain undifferentiated,  pluripotent mouse ES cells are now well established, and  incremental improvements, such as the development of  Mouse ES Cell Basal Medium, are key to the ongoing  success of stem cell research.

Mouse ES Cell Basal Medium is a sterile liquid tissue culture  medium containing phenol red that has been optimized to  support the undifferentiated self-renewal cycle related to  mouse embryonic stem cell growth.

The medium contains a stable glutamine dipeptide, providing  a long shelf-life when handled and stored properly medium may be supplemented by addition of ES-Cell  Qualified Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or a serum replacement  designed for mouse ES cells. This medium can support the growth of mouse ES cells on  either a mitotically inactivated layer of mouse embryonic  fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells, or in a feeder-free environment using gelatin-coated plates.

Handling information

Handling procedure
Preparation of Complete Growth Medium for Mouse ES Cells 
Grow ES cells in Mouse ES Cell Basal Medium that has been supplemented with the following components:
