Stability/Storage:
- All products should be stored in the dark.
- Mesenchymal Stem Cell Chondrogenic Differentiation Basal Medium is stable at 2-8oC for up to one year. ITS + Supplement is stable for a minimum 3 months at 2-8oC. Other components are stable at -20oC for up to two years.
- Products should be discarded beyond the labeled expiration date.
- Once prepared, the fully supplemented (complete) medium can be stored for 12 hours when stored in the dark at 2-8oC.
- For optimal performance, repeated warm-cooling and freeze-thawing should be avoided.
Quality Control:
Tested for performance on mesenchymal stem cells. The standard evaluation includes:
1. Sterility test (bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma)
2. pH test
3. Osmolality
4. Endotoxin
Intended Use:
Intended for non-human laboratory research use only.
