Hi
Here you can see some frequently asked questions or contact us!
Our human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) are provided at a population doubling level (PDL) of 8-10 post-mononuclear isolation (Bone Marrow; Equivalent Passage 2) or 14-18 post-isolation from the perivascular region of Wharton’s Jelly (Umbilical Cord; Equivalent Passage 3). Due to variabilities of seeding and harvest densities we characterize our MSC “True Age” in terms of their PDL.
A: There is no need to feed cells between passages. Our media is engineered to be a batch culture media, where no media exchange or feed is necessary when following our suggested protocols.
No, we do not pool donors at any time during our production. Master Cell Banks (MCBs) are created from each donor source. Working Cell Banks (WCBs) are produced from our MCBs for general product sales.
We characterize our hMSCs by following ISCT criteria: cell identity (surface marker expression), functional potency (angiogenic cytokine and IDO secretion), and trilineage differentiation (adipo-, osteo-, and chondrogenesis). This information is provided to allow customers to choose the optimal hMSC tissue type and donor for their specific application or target indication.
