Xeno-free medium for expansion of human neural stem and progenitor cells.

NeuroCult™-XF Proliferation Medium is a standardised, xeno-free, serum-free medium for the culture of human neural stem and progenitor cells from normal tissues or tumor samples, in the neurosphere or adherent monolayer system. When supplemented with appropriate cytokines, NeuroCult™-XF Proliferation Medium is optimised to maintain human neural stem cells in culture for extended periods of time without the loss of their self-renewal, proliferation or differentiation potential.

NOTE: Addition of Carrier-Free rh EGF and rh bFGF is required. Heparin can also be added, however, the heparin solution contains non-human animal-derived components and can be omitted if a complete xeno-free system is desired.
